Backlit LCD Display Interface
The Bad Elf GPS Pro+ oers an Apple approved GPS with an informative user
interface. Prior GPS devices used simple LEDs to indicate status, leaving the user
guessing about status details. The Bad Elf GPS Pro+ makes it easy for the user to
check location details (latitude, longitude, altitude, track, speed, and universal time)
directly on the GPS without requiring connectivity to the iPod touch, iPhone, or
iPad. Further information concerning the quality of data and satellite usage is also
available directly on the device. Additionally, users may check Bluetooth connection
status, battery levels, barometer, thermometer, and data log storage usage at a
glance. The display also has a backlight for readability at night.
