Using the iPad wifi version with a Verizon MyFi (wireless wifi router) on the northern Chesapeake this weekend, I could not get a gps position. The iPhone gave me position with the wifi, but seemed better with the edge or 3G connection.
Oddly, location services came back on the iPad for a while when I was tied up in Rock Hall, then disappeared again, both while using the myFi.
Checking online I found references to a service called skyhook that registers the ip address as mobile or something, but the references were from some time ago.
And the fact that the blue bubble on the iPad can follow me all over the place in my car but not in my boat is confusing.
I tried it with innavx, charts and tides, and google maps and the inboard map app. None of home like being on the water as far as I can tell.
What am I doing wrong?
