You can alwayys downgrade your iPads to 8.2 and wait for the fix
It will happen again, and with all companies. Things break, mistakes are beeing made.
Also: The built in GPS will do almost everything just as well

Strangely enough I find that not to be the case. My co-pilots and I all have 3G iPad minis. Mine never loses a connection, the other two do – happens when we are sitting next to each other.

next to each other is still maybe 5 lambda at the GPS frequencies, so there is likely already no correlation between the field strength at one place vs. the other.
iOS 8.3 also blocks access to Apps data via tools like iMazing / DiskAid / Iexplorer.
This affects users that have approach plates on their iPad from a source I cannot mention otherwise I’m breaching the posting rules ;-)

I mentioned earlier on a diffrent thread that I was considering swapping my SD running on Nexus 7 (new gen) to Garmin Pilot and SD on Ipad mini with GDL39 or other external GPS…..This thread makes me having second thoughts.now.and wait out till this bug is solved…

That is really seriously bad news.
That route provided a really good way to load all kinds of data into an Ipad.
No way am I updating “anything IOS” anymore.
If you’re not updating “anything iOS” and know about IT then there’s no way I will again, lol
Computers are there to do a job. If it does the job you need, don’t mess with it 
Many people like to stuff everything with the latest updates. That’s OK but you are taking a risk that something will break. It’s an acceptable policy if the device is just a toy for the kids, or you have two of them so can test the updates on one of them first. But really anything used in flight is pretty critical.
And the often quoted stuff about security is mostly rubbish. If you don’t use IE for web browsing, don’t use Outlook for email, and don’t let kids use the computer (they tend to click on every link that comes up, and just trash the machine) then you have removed some 99% of your vulnerability.
