  • 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

  • Good for boat navigation with iPad
Style: Receiver
I bought this to use with a WiFi-only iPad on which I am running Navionics for boat navigation. I recently sailed from Miami to Gulfport, MS both across parts of the Gulf and the ICW. This unit paired seamlessly with the iPad and was accurate enough for my use. I mounted it at my helm with some doublesided Velcro and even under the bimini I had no reception issues. It isn’t waterproof or maybe even water resistant so I need to rig up some sort of waterproof case for it that won’t reduce reception. Otherwise no issues. Battery life was pretty good - sometimes 12 hours. Usually 8-10. But there is no real battery meter so I would just charge it up with a battery pack while still using it when the low battery light started to flash. This plus a WiFi iPad made for a good primary nav setup for my 34’ sailboat. That said I also bought an android tablet as my backup, which comes with built in GPS, and it worked great too (see my other reviews). I’m partial to the build quality of Apple products and for something I was literally trusting the existential safety of myself and my boat with I used the apple + garmin combo and can recommend it. That said, you can buy three android tablets for the price of one apple+garmin and have redundancies. But I digress. This Garmin is a good product. ... show more

  • Simple
Style: Receiver
Pretty simple device - insert the battery and let it charge for three hours. We are pairing with a ipad mini for off roading and the process was simply and quick. In the box was the GPS, battery, two charging cables. I purchased two and both boxes had been opened but everything was there. A few cons - no clear indicator that we can see that signals with the GPS is fully charged. Same goes for no means to tell when the charge is low, so best case charge it over night and if it needs a recharge during the day, use the included DC (cig) cable. There are four small rubber pads on the bottom but I don't see those keeping this unit from sliding around, so we'll add some velcro. Next month we are doing a week trip, so we'll see how the unit works and update this review if needed. ... show more

  • Good but with annoying feature
Style: Receiver
Pairs seamlessly with iOS devices. Pairs OK with android using a 3rd party bluetooth app - a little cumbersome but works fine. Seems very accurate and saves a lot of battery life on my cell phone when driving with navigation. GPS natively chews through a battery pretty quick so the GLO 2 offsets the work from the phone. Used this for cell phone tethered car navigation (Google Maps) and for more accurate Geocaching while hiking. Annoying feature that the device can't charge unless its turned on. Also older mini-USB connection. It does have nice battery life though. ... show more
