I have a non-GPS iPad mini. If the P3P relies on the fix GPS for the Follow Me feature, is it possible to use an external GPS like the Bad Elf XGPS150 as a Magic Leash?
That's correct, yes. I do agree with you and posters in a few other threads that it would be outstanding if we could do as you noted.Scenario; I want to take my dirtbike out and do some riding in the sand pits. So I have to strap my RC/mini iPad/external GPS on to me to do this so I can use to follow me feature?
Yes, actually Follow sounds useless if we cannot use a different GPS tag...
An external GPS receiver will work. The Dual XGPS160 and Dual XGPS150A are also compatible with Apple devices.

This is correct.I don't own an ipad to test this but provided the external GPS is talking to the ipad and the ipad is relaying that info to the P3 then it should work. I recall you need to start the GPS app and run in background. The external GPS does NOT have to be Glonass, it can be any provided it tell the pad where the external GPS is. If the device is a class 1, then it should have 100m line of site range. Make sure the external gps has a high refresh rate.
