Backlit LCD Display Interface
The Bad Elf GPS Pro offers the fi rst Apple approved GPS with an informative
user interface. Prior GPS devices used simple LEDs to indicate status, leaving
the user guessing about status details. The Bad Elf GPS Pro makes it easy for
the user to check location details (latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, speed,
and universal time) directly on the GPS without requiring connectivity to the
iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. Further information concerning the quality of data
and satellite usage is also available directly on the device. Additionally, users
may check Bluetooth connection status, battery levels, and data log storage us-
age at a glance. The display also has a backlight for readability at night.

USB Port / ElfPort™
The standard USB mini-B port on the back of the Bad Elf GPS Pro operates
primarily as a standard charging port for recharging the GPS Pro’s internal
battery. This port also supports Bad Elf’s ElfPort™technology, which enables
communication with supported peripheral devices when combined with custom
Bad Elf cables and the enabling software.
Data Storage
The Bad Elf GPS Pro contains 64MB of fl ash memory for storage of trip data.
At a standard sampling rate of one position recorded per second (1Hz), the
device can store up to 100 hours of trip data. The data can be divided into
separate trips or collected as one single data log. The Bad Elf Utility app read-
ily offl oads trip data logs for storage on the Pod touch, iPhone, or iPad. The
data can then be emailed and shared.
Power System
The Bad Elf GPS Pro includes a long life, embedded lithium ion battery. When
both the Bluetooth® radio and the GPS are active, the battery offers up to 16
hours of continuous operation on a single charge. When operating in stand-
alone data logging mode, that is, with the Bluetooth radio OFF, the Bad Elf
GPS Pro can operate for over 30 hours.

Pair an Apple Device with the Bad Elf GPS Pro
The Bad Elf GPS Pro only needs to be paired once with your iPod touch,
iPhone, or iPad. After your Apple device and Bad Elf GPS Pro are paired, they
will connect automatically when both units have their Bluetooth radios ON and
are within range of each other.
To pair the Bad Elf GPS Pro with an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, follow these
simple steps:
1. On the Apple device, start the Settings app, then select General > Blue-
tooth. Make sure Bluetooth is turned ON.
2. This page will then show accessories that are within range and available
for pairing.
3. Turn on your Bad Elf GPS Pro (if it is not ON already).
4. Within 10 seconds, you should see the Bad Elf GPS Pro appear in the list
of devices, with a status of “Not Paired”. Tap this item in the list to start
the pairing process.
5. Within 10 seconds, you should see a dialog on your Apple device offering
a PIN number. This PIN will also be displayed on the LCD display. This
allows both sides of the connection to authorize the pairing with the re-
mote device. Matching the PIN numbers ensures that you can confi rm that
you are pairing the correct devices. Data entry is not required.
6. On the Bad Elf GPS Pro, press the GPS Button to authorize the pairing.
On your Apple device, press the “Pair” button.
7. In the Settings app, under General > Bluetooth, you should now see the
Bad Elf GPS Pro listed with a “Connected” status.

Pro simultaneously. Just follow the steps above for each Apple device that you
wish to connect to the Bad Elf GPS Pro.

3 seconds. While Bluetooth is turned off, the GPS and data logging will still
function, but communications with your Apple device will not be possible. You

Download the App from the App Store
The Bad Elf GPS Utility app is a free app available in iTunes. The app allows
you to verify the accessory is paired and correctly connected to your Apple de-
vice. It shows the raw GPS data being received by the GPS receiver and allows
you to confi gure the GPS logging features. Once you have logged some trips,
the app allows you to transfer these logs to your Apple device for visualization
and sharing.
Finally, if any fi rmware updates become available, the app will download them
to your Apple device for installation into the accessory hardware.
After you have paired your Bad Elf GPS Pro to your Apple device for the fi rst
time, you will be prompted to download the Bad Elf GPS Utility app from the
iTunes App Store. If you do not have Internet connectivity, or do not wish to
download the app at that time, you can ignore this prompt. Your Bad Elf GPS
Pro does not require the Bad Elf Utility app to operate with apps and will work
out of the box with any location-based apps you have installed.
