WAAS GPS question

Post by socsbrian »

I am looking to purchase an external GPS for my iPad, and I am debating between Sentry ADS-B and Bad Elf Pro+.
I know both of them are equipped with a WAAS GPS. But is it true the Bad Elf Pro+ has a higher-end WAAS GPS than the Sentry?
If yes, does it translate to better signal capture at high altitude, high speed, and under thicker airframe?

I'm not sure about the sentry, but I think the selling point of the badelf pro+ is that it also receives GLONASS (Russian GPS), which can make getting a fix faster and easier in certain areas. Your best bet for aviation is likely to buy (or build) a Stratux, which when equipped, can feed attitude and ADS-B In data to foreflight, in addition to GPS signal.
