Very happy with the Glo2. All I had to do was charge it and turn it on. It did the rest. I paired it with an ipad and have used it with 5 or 6 different mapping apps. It is seamless and very accurate. It is small and lightweight. I would absolutely recommend.

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?

We use this with our ipad and thus far it has performed well with OnX trail app. We tried to use velco to attach to the inside of the Can Am... but it got hot on the trail and the velco came off leaving a sticky mess... so will need to find another way to adhere it for use, but it has worked well.

I’ve used this for two days and so far so good. I have a basic 2017 iPad that is WiFi ONLY so I bought this device to help out with accurate navigation to use in my car. Connects fast once you select it on your iPads Bluetooth list. Then mounted it with one of those CD player mounts, used a slanted style charging cable so it doesn’t stick out so much while plugged in, and then turned on my phones hotspot to connect to my iPad so it can run off of my phones data which is great because I love using my maps navigation and Spotify side by side in Split View kinda giving off a sort of CarPlay feel (but better). I then used small sticky cable holders to mount the rest of my iPads charging cable neatly so it doesn’t look like a mess. One thing I want to point out is using Apple Maps isn’t the best since I started using this garmin device. It showed my location more on the right side of the road like I was driving on the sidewalk which bummed me out so I decided to give GOOGLE MAPS a try before sending it back and everything worked SO MUCH BETTER!!!! I was never a google maps guy but now I am since I started using this with my iPad. Some people said you have to put your garmin on your dash or with sun practically hitting it and not to bury it in your car but for me it works fine leaving it on, charging and laying it in my center console in front of my cup holders without an issue. Just to be safe you should also download your daily routes/trips on your iPad & phone in OFFLINE mode on your google maps app incase your phone reception sucks ass and still wanna have an accurate route to take. I drive a 2012 Honda civic and it looks 100xs better now. Happy with this purchase.

This is a fantastic GPS device it works great, big issue is working with Android 12+ Garmin does NOT provide support for this and it will ktn work out the box. And will not be as simple as you'd like to use if replacing your phone GPS but not bad. HOW To: Connect Garmin to PC and UPGRADE it yes must do this... The upgrader is buggy just keep doing it until it works Then connect you phone with it on Bluetooth but it won't stay connected but it will remember it. Then download a GPS NMEA reader app for Bluetooth. I used Drooger it is free. Use this app to connect to the GPS (You'll have to connect the GPS this way every time you want to use it) during this process you will allow tons of privs to Drooger and you will have to put you phone in developer mode (the secret tapping menu) and leave it there the. You will have to find the mock GPS app menu item and select Drooger. (Also turning off wifi and bt sharing for location will help) Now your Google maps and other apps should read the Garmin as the GPS for your phone. If it was plug and play or at least Garmin had their own streamlined app I would give 5 stars. If you are connecting to not a phone device and a device designed for BT GPS it would work perfect I am sure. Also for some head units for it to work with Android auto you will need to set android Autos privs on your phone for Location to Never allow (This is on a Pixel 6 Pro that I did this on for reference)

The Garmin Glo 2 works great, connects instantly and is reliable. It is a great addition to the iPhone maps app for increased accuracy, especially when driving cities with many tall buildings.

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.

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.
