    Can you elaborate and I will look into it? After 4.5.1 you lost GPS functionality on your iPhone or after the last IOS update? Does the GPS Function work based on the settings but just not reflect on the app? Need some more information to get to the bottom of it. We have another firmware update scheduled within the next 2 weeks so if the issue is with the 4.5.1 update we should be able to correct the issue quickly in the next update.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    No GPS speed
    Happened to me this morning after I updated to IOS 8.1.1
    Was in a rush to work so I didn't get time to investigate.

    But the GPS Function was still working? (Muting under set speeds, etc,) Just the speed was not displayed on the iPhone? You also need to go to the app settings and give permission for the app to use the GPS with the latest IOS versions.

    The GPS permission (Location Settings) are not part of the settings of ALP Connect. Its the app settings for the phone itself. My iPhone is dead at the moment and its 1AM here, so I will charge it over night and get some screen shots tomorrow if someone does not beat me to it.

    See this thread: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...ng-on-iPhone-5

    Issue with IOS 8.0 is that its not saving the settings.

    And this is with the iPhone 6 or older phones? There are tons of issues with the iPhone 6 and AL has been looking into it for weeks but have not had any luck and they believe the issues are on the Apples side. Only some users have issues with others running the same ALP Connect and the iPhone 6 are fine which leads us to believe their might be some hardware differences in certain phones.
