Default Bluetooth GPS reciever

I've read the reviews on line, but I'm not too concerned about what works in a 172. What are you guys using that works with the iPad and can last our long legs?

I have used a Bad Elf bluetooth GPS for a few years now on long haul flights. Longest flight so far was around 16 hours and the GPS' battery lasted the whole flight.

Not that it would be FAA approved, but WSI supports an ADS receiver that would give you inflight weather, traffic.

Probably uses TIS-B and will only work over US and probably won't work with the window heat. You'll have to put it on window in the back.
