User questions & answers

Question:	Does this also tell you the water depth
Answer:	Yes, it shown water depth and fish depths, fish size..but still not sure about the accuracy of this device..
Question:	How does this connect to phone/tablet: bluetooth or wifi
Answer:	Bluetooth
Question:	There aren't any reviews or questions. Anyone have any pros/cons to offer
Answer:	When fishing through 14 inches of ice this weekend in a narrow 6 inch hole it had some trouble accurately getting readings. I suspect that would be a common issue with flashers through the ice though, next time I will attempt to submerge fully to see if it makes a difference, I was not prepared this time. When Centered in the hole it would work, so I drilled a second hole and let the Garmin freeze in center and all was good.
Question:	Can you do a split screen of the ice flasher and the 2D sonar at the same time
Answer:	No, that is not currently possible. It's one or the other

Product description

Navigate with Garmin caliber GPS data on the mobile device of your choice. The GLO 2 receiver brings you the best of both worlds by combining GPS and GLONASS receivers with Bluetooth wireless technology so you can enjoy precise position information on your iPad, iPhone or Android device.

The Accuracy of GPS and GLONASS

GLO 2 can receive position information from both the GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations, allowing it to connect to up to 24 more satellites than devices that rely on GPS alone. This allows GLO 2 to lock on to satellites approximately 20% faster and remain connected even at high speed. What’s more, GLO 2 updates its position information at 10 times per second; that’s up to 10 times more often than the GPS receivers in many mobile devices.

Set it Up and Go

Using Bluetooth technology, the GLO 2 receiver wirelessly pairs to your mobile device. Just set GLO 2 within range of your mobile device, and in moments, you’ll be receiving the GLO 2 receiver’s position data. It has up to 13 hours of battery life to keep your position on long trips, and charging GLO 2 between uses is easy with the included USB cable or optional 12/24 V vehicle power cable. The optional friction mount keeps the receiver safe on your dashboard and in full view of satellites.

User questions & answers

Question:	looking to mount this permanently in the rear of my car. Does the unit turn on when connected to power source or does power button need to be pushed
Answer:	I had to check because I had never thought much about this possibility before. I plugged in a my 12 volt in my truck that is powered when ignition is turned on and upon vehicle start the Glo2 turned on automatically and started searching for a gps signal and a bluetooth signal as well. When I turned off ignition the Glo2 stays on due to the internal battery in the Glo2. So really it will never turn off unless Glo2 battery dies. However, even if Glo2 battery dies it should still start back up upon ignition since that is the other option to run it or charge it anyways. I have left in my RZR and truck for days using it on and off it plugged into a 12 volt source with never an issue. It's a great little unit. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does this model have windows 10 support? want to use in 2 in one dell laptop/tablet. thank you
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What's the accuracy with this unit
Answer:	I think you can generally expect to see accuracy to within 100 feet. I’m talking about when you use it in a car, which is what I do.
Question:	Is there an app to see how many satellites and strength the device is currently connected to? Does it even have an app
Answer:	For Android, "Bluetooh GPS" app does pretty much what you describe and is the app recommended by Garmin when configuring the GLO/GLO2 for android devices.
Question:	Has anyone used this with the Trackmaster app on Android (lap timer
Answer:	Have not tried it with Trackmaster on Android. It's more dependent upon the App though than the transponder, as the gps receiver works fine with both iPhones and Androids, as long as one remembers to switch the toggle switch to the corresponding format.
Question:	ios7 and Google Maps - will it give voice directions? I want to use it with my bluetooth motorcycle helmet in remote locations
Answer:	I do a lot of geocaching and the XGPS150 works great. The navagation program I mostly use is called copilot and it does have voice directions but I don't think that has anything to do with the XGPS150 but with the program. I have not tried it with google maps but again that would depend on if google maps supports voice directions. I am using it with 2 different iPads, a 2 and a mini and it works great on both. Not sure if this will help you or not but I hope so. PS, I am using iOS7.1
Question:	lap timer
Answer:	I use to conjunction with my 3GS Iphone and an App called Harrys Lap Timer. I ride motorcycles on the track and the GPS works very well with it. I had to wire in a cigarette port into my bike to power both the phone and the GPS to get any real battery life. Once I did this it worked perfectly I'm very satisfied.
Question:	will the GPS work while being charged as the same time? Thanks
Answer:	it does, however when you plug in the USB charging cable while in use, and switch out of/back into the Dual Electronics SkyPro app - I have noticed it take more than 10-20 seconds to reacquire signal if not in direct satellite view (e.g. driving on forest covered road). This was concerning on my first initial tests while driving, though in subsequent tests (with more clear sky coverage) the app seemed to to reacquire GPS signal and location in
