GarminGlo 2

Using this on my Cessna 172 GA airplane and iPad 10th Generation, which doesn't have GPS built in.Setup was super easy (like connecting Bluetooth headphones, just pair, connect and off you go) with super clear instructions available, minimal footprint in the cockpit, and a sturdy build quality makes it able to withstand moderate turbulence. Battery life is more than sufficient, and the fact that it can be used while plugged in to the 12V cigarette lighter socket makes it ideal for even longer trips (although I'm generally limited to 4-5 hours due to fuel consumption on my C172). Good to know I can just refuel and takeoff again without waiting an hour for it to charge.Appearance wise, it blends in very well with the black interior of my airplane, not standing out too much when placed on the dashboard.I have now attached it to my iPad mount as it was moving around too much during turns, and since I'm sometimes renting planes when out and about, I wanted the flexibility. Overalls, a very worthwhile purchase.

Next day delivery, smaller and neater than I expected. Bluetooth connected immediately and a few minutes for a GPS fix and that was all there was to it! Hint Make sure the box on application for using an external GPS is ticked. Battery can stay on charge in iPad and Garmin GPS by wired connections whilst two communicate by Bluetooth, a useful capability as real time mapping applications are heavy on battery power.

Very easy to use just connect via Bluetooth open mapping and will show your location to within 2 to 5 metres depending on number of satellites available. Rechargeable from usb charger , lasts for about 16 hrs. The communication rate is higher than the gps installed on phones and iPads . You will be able to see your movement even at walking pace and in a vehicle you can see smooth movement as you travel. Great piece of equipment which i use with my iPad that does not have built in gps. Also use with my iPhone which has its own gps but this gives more accurate location. The unit is very small and light and cave placed on dashboard or in pocket if walking.

Works great but with no native android support you have to rely on third party apps that have a habit of either disconnecting or not reconnecting when you move your device out of Bluetooth range. Apart from that it's great.

The Garmin is a great unit. I am a photojournalist and plan all my trips around the world with pins on Maps.me. Many places I go to have poor or no telephone reception, including the North Yorks Moors where I live. This makes using phone GPS useless. I use Glo with an iPad and iPhone. It was very easy to set up and accuracy is amazing. The lights on the unit don't do quite what the instructions say, so don't panic if you get flashing lights that say there is a system error when using the USB charging lead as it seems to be ok. Thanks to Amazon for answering my question about its compatibility with Maps.me so quickly, it has solved a big problem for me as my iPad is the no SIM version. 5 stars to everyone.

Amazing device. Reliable and works on commercial aircrafts even when on board gps receivers are jamed in certain areas. You just need to recycle it by switching it off and on few times.

Great device but not working direct with Google maps, but it works with certain apps that are available for android or iphone.

Good product has worked well ... Only downsides product uses an old form of charging cable (not micro usb or usb c) so if u loose the cable it's not an easy find for a new one ... Also I initially had some connectivity issues to my android phone but if you download a basic free Bluetooth app of playstore it seems to work fine.Strong battery life and signal - I have used it regularly in a light aircraft for use with skydemon ... So imagine it will do the trick in most environments
