I apologize in advance if this is old news for many of you iPhone users: I was reading this morning over at BPL and found a thread about iOS 8.3. Apparently, Apple made a change (w/o actually noting it in their list of changes, AFAIK) whereby "airplane mode" no longer disables GPS. I tried it and, sure enough, my apps which require GPS now work even if the phone is in airplane mode. Nice article with other interesting information at BPL.

I use Gaia GPS and they notified me by email. They are on top of it, and it means battery savings. Is anybody else using Gaia, or other GPS apps for the iPhone for that matter?

Gaia has its good points, yes. But my favorite is iHikeGPS with clean topo maps that stitch together as you move about. I like it on my iPad when I drive the forest roads; I can look down to the passenger seat and see exactly where I am, where the next junction is, etc. Similar to Gaia? Sure, but better for me.
