    • Turn it on and forget it
Style: Receiver
We used the Garmin GLO 2 GPS on a mountain driving trip in Virginia. It was easy to pair to our iPad and once connected worked flawlessly guiding us easily without any cellular service at all. After startup it would take a minute or two to find a GPS link, then we just put it in the cup holder or a shirt pocket and it never lost the signal. Highly Recommended. ... show more

    • It works with MotionX-GPS on an old iPad
Style: Receiver
I bought the Garmin GLO2 for use with a six year old non-cellular iPad to provide navigation. I first thought Apple would allow the GPS signal from an iphone to be sent to a non-cellular iPad but of course they do not and there is no way of using the iphone GPS data that Apple is willing to disclose. After seeing a couple of other solutions I went for the Garmin because of their GPS history and experience. The instructions are not comprehensive. The unit pairs easily enough over Bluetooth. The blue LED goes from flashing to solid when it is paired. The flashing green LED took five minutes to find a satellite fix the first time I turned it on. When it had found the fix it turned to a solid green. On charging the amber light flashes until the battery is fully charged . If like me, you put the device on to charge and it's hunting for satellites then the green and amber lights flash alternatively. It's both charging and hunting for satellites. Makes sense. But the instructions say that green and amber flashing alternately means you either have a faulty battery or a system error. So there was five minutes of buyers remorse until the green light turned solid. Now there's a solid green and a flashing amber until fully charged. After pairing I brought up Motionx-GPS - surely the best navigation app on the market at the moment. I use it for navigating around on some of the nearby lakes. The app allows you to choose the method of location fixing: GPS, WIFI or manual. I turned off the WiFi and then I hit the GPS soft button and within a couple of seconds the signal strength for GPS appeared and fixed my position within 98 feet (the app said). I'm not sure where the accuracy number is coming from. However I have left the tracking function working on the app for 30 minutes and the app is showing movement of about 40 feet in a straight line even though the device is sitting on my desk. In terms of the specifications I would probably have given it 2 stars. Cold Start 60s - no - more like five minutes. Accuracy 3m - no - 30 minutes of use shows a track deviation of 40 feet and my app, however it is getting the accuracy data, says 98 feet. BTW turning on Wifi on the iPad improves the accuracy to 33 feet. I'll take the unit on road trip to see if that changes as soon as we are out of WiFi range and let you know the result. But for $99 i now have a working navigation system on a big screen and a new use for an old iPad. I'm happy enough it works with a non-garmin app. Edit on October 15th 2019 - I've used the GLO 2 for a few months now and it's performed well. For whatever reason the Motion-X app now shows the accuracy is 16 feet. I've written to Motion-X asking them how they calculate the accuracy but I've not received a reply. I agree with one of the other posts that it really needs an accurate battery level indicator. I would pay an extra $10 if the device had this. On another point I don't understand why Apple doesn't allow the export of the GPS location over Bluetooth - any clever people out there who could explain if this is achievable? ... show more

    • Works perfect with wifi only iPad 9.
Style: Receiver
I put in the battery, turned it on, and my iPad 9 found it immediately. Fired up Google maps and it worked perfectly. It also worked with the iPad's built in "maps" ( without this GPS receiver Apple maps doesn't work, it just offers to send directions to your phone). Well worth the price.

    • Very accurate gps as long as you are not going far
Style: Receiver
Got this so I could use my ipad in certain scenarios (sailing, flying, etc.) but man the battery life is just no good. I get maybe 2-3 hours of battery and to make matters worse this does not use a standard micro/usb-c cable instead opting for a mini usb.

It works very well with any GPS app, I use Waze more and so far everything works well 👍, for the data to my iPad I just share data with my iPhone and that's it ✅

    • Excellent GPS receiver
Style: Receiver
I cheaped out and replaced a cell capable iPad with the non-cell version which also deletes the GPS capability. I guess I should have read the specs more closely. So upon realizing this, I purchased this unit to give me GPS positioning on my iPad. Easy set up, accurate, works flawlessly.

I have a pixel 6 pro running android 13 and this device will not connect. I also have an old phone running android 11 which will also not connect. I tried updating the firmware per Garmin's instructions and it Sill won't connect. However, it connects to my iPad just fine. This is not what I wanted to use it with. I'll be returning the unit. *** Update *** I contacted Garmin support and they said I need to download a 3rd party GPS app for Android devices. I finally got it connected using an app called GPS Connector. In the app, you can see how many connected GPS and GNSS satellites you're connected to. To my surprise, when using the Garmin, I was connected to 4 satellites only. I disconnected to compare my internal phones signal and I was connected to 18 satellites!! I've attached some screen shots. I'm no GPS expert, but wouldn't more connections mean the triangulation would be more accurate? After asking chat GPT, the short answer is yes: "Yes, a device that is connected to more GPS and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellites generally tends to have greater positioning accuracy compared to a device that is connected to fewer satellites. The accuracy of GPS positioning is improved by receiving signals from a larger number of satellites for several reasons:" It then goes into detail about several reason why (Multilateration, Error Mitigation, Geometric Dilution of Precision, and Signal Strength and Redundancy). My recommendation: I would test your phones internal GPS before purchasing this device as it might already have better technology in it. This device may work well for older devices but in my case it was a complete flop. ... show more

    • Works great
Style: Receiver
Bought for our anchor alarm setup the phones gps is lack luster below decks works great. Only issue I have is the setup since you have to turn the gps off on your phone it requires some messing around not very user friendly but that's not the fault of the device.
