I've heard from my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw this work at 31 Flavors last night.

Jeppesen FD Pro is the "Third Party App" you seek. Let it pair, then go back to the FD Pro and turn on all the relevant options. A couple of new buttons will pop up to center your map and provide the GPS Status.
