Apple iOS 8.3 Causes GPS Incompatibility Issues
The problem with external GPS compatibility should be fixed with the next release of Apple’s iOS mobile operating system.

After upgrading to Version 8.3 of Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, pilots who use Apple devices coupled wirelessly to external GPS receivers found that many of these receivers no longer worked with their iPads and iPhones. Manufacturers of external GPS devices reported widespread problems with iOS 8.3. Apple has not responded to AIN’s requests for more information. The next version of iOS, 8.4, is due out soon (or might have been deployed as this issue went to press) and reportedly has fixed the compatibility problem.
