I recorded results for the Nexus using Pilot with internal antennae, external antennae and using a GPS app for the Nexus (reports internal GPS function) and with the iPad running the XGPS150 with ForeFlight & Pilot. Finally, I took the same information from my iPhone 5 running ForeFlight. I did the same with XGPS150 antennae connected first to the Nexus and then to the iPad. To get to somewhat accurate answer to both of these concerns, I set up both units to determine what the differences were for both.įor the location tests, I set up the Nexus 7 with the internal GPS using Pilot and recorded the lat/long for the position I was at (stationary, on the ground). I also suspected there were some issues with the GPS position reports as I saw on the georeferencing on both devices. On the Nexus, using the internal GPS antennae, I was seeing between 400 to 500 feet difference the altitude it reported versus what the iPad running Garmin Pilot with an external XGPS150 antennae. Quick summary I noticed some altitude differences between my iPad running ForeFlight & Garmin Pilot and my Nexus 7 running Garmin Pilot. I seem to have ruled out the positional errors but altitude still is much different than when I use my XGPS150. There is something definitely not right with my Nexus GPS. Sorry for taking so long to report back on my GPS tests. Click to expand.Thanks, wonder if others will see the lower altitudes as well.
