CLLocationManager/MKMapView with external GPS

I've had reports from multiple users saying that their external GPS units (Bad Elf, mostly) aren't working with my GPS-enabled app. I'm not doing any manually detection for GPS units; the app assumes the device has a unit and just displays an error if no location is found. My question is:

Is there any additional setup that needs to be done to allow a CLLocationManager and MKMapView to interact with an external GPS on a device with no internal GPS unit?

As Till pointed out in his comment, it seems that this is a problem with iOS 6. You can read more about it here as well as in the link that he provided.

I don't think you can do anything about this. This is an issue for Apple and the GPS vendor. You are using an API to access the internal GPS.
