Thank you Lee, this works very well as I have my IPAD 3/4 placed in my SUV for long trips, and easy viewing of our location by way of your app, this is very cool since I haven't splurged for the $50 TO $250 external GPS units available for my IPAD. This works, thank you. terry - Los Angeles

This app cannot interpret NMEA output from an ATT MIFi Liberate. Even if it could, this is a very bare bones app. Although still not great, Harry's GPS Buddy offers a decent interface and decent list of features for NMEA wifi users on iPad or IPod.
