I use my ipad to navigate while driving down forest service roads and while going camping. My iPad does not have GPS, so I currently have to have my phone open to see where I am. Is there a way to use this app to send my GPS location information from my iPhone to my iPad?

Hi @KonradStanski Sorry for the slow response! I would have to say Unlikely, sorry.

Most 'normal' navigation apps for driving use the in-built GPS to locate the device, and cannot listen for an external GPS, which is essentially what GPW2IP is.

GPS2IP is generally used for nautical or aviation tools that offer a wider range of input devices to get a good position fix from. Apple Maps, etc are far less configurable.

Sorry for the bad news!
