I installed my new appradio 2 this weekend and connected it to my iPod 4th gen with iOS6. I put the GPS antenna on the dash and in the middle close to the windshield. The navigation is so slow, it refreshes the location every 3 seconds or so and sometime it jumps to some random locations (not too far but no accurate at all though). Checked the location services and everytime was on. Checked the GPS signal in the unit and it is receiving 9 satellite signals (the orange satellites are 9 and no yellow)….

Does anyone have the same experience with this unit in terms of GPS with iPod?

wich gps software it is ?

if you use waze, beginin road from internet connection, and disconnect, it works almost correct

but i would suggest to try another software

and with new version of appradio app ?

Yes, I have tried it with the version 2.0 of appradio. The way I used the waze was to tether internet through WiFi from my phone but havent tried it with using home wifi. I will try this to see if it works. thank you.

I went for a test drive with the waze searching the network from the home WiFi but the problem is still there. The problem comes from the refresh rate of the positioning, it reposition the location every 5-12 seconds! Which means I can pass 3-4 intersections before the app tells me to turn! whereas an actual gps needs to have a refresh rate of at least 1 seconds.

I'm not sur of the info, but Dejan told me that with igo, it works from his iphone 4 wich gps antena is broken...( the main thing is to know wich gps software use directly the appradio gps antena directly...)

still again i'm not sure...and igo is a little exepensive to buy just to try....

unless you have jailbroken device...

i confirm... if you iphone / Ipod dont have gps antena (or if is broken) juste launch Appradio application in you appradio and launch GPS app FROM appradio not from directly iphone !!!!

How do i know which software uses the appradio and not the ipod's antenna?

I will jailbreak my ipod to see if igo has a solution for it...

Thanks Dejan and yonel for your helps

P.S. I might post a video recording of what I was talking about. it might be more clear then...

So apparently there was a problem in the iOS version 6.0.1 . I updated to the Ver. 6.1 and the gps works perfectly.

whith SPHDA01 and iPod 4 perfect functionality! , sometimes I have problem only iPod is linked wifi to iPhone, in this case continue to Find GPS signal! If I disabile wifi GPS signal return OK!

Yesterday I had GPS signal problems now, I have risolved unistall and reinstall the appradio interface software utilitity on iGo store, but before link the radio I have disable wi-fi connection on iPod. Fixing signal immediatly!
