yea i love mine

did it work ? with the ipad pro ? have a 12.9 wifi, thinking of buying this

Thats awsome . I allways try to download an offline map just in case and run hotspot for all info. But sometimes i forget to download and havent had a problem yet

@@StoneBrokeAdventure Jury is out on this still for me. I am doing more testing as I get time. Will respond back when I have more to share. It does appear to work well, but want more data to verify that I don't need downloaded maps to work in no cell coverage sites. I do know that you can't make any route changes unless you do have cell coverage or downloaded maps. But my riding area is so large, that I don't want to have a whole bunch of off-line maps to keep track of.

He already said if you download the offline map it will work fine.

@@lederppz6202 My riding area is much bigger than the total maps that I will download. Think Western US, not just a small portion of one state.

If i pair it to my iphone via Bluetooth and use google maps or Waze, then I drive in an area where there is no cell coverage at all, will it seamlessly continue to track my position and provide navigation? In the past, I have driven in remote areas where there is no cell service for over an hour/ 100 miles or so, and the cell phone gps becomes useless.

awsome. i love this thing. i have hade if for a couple of years and it allways works

Any time . We just finished a 6000 mile road trip. It worked really good.

i dont think it is water proof. but it works well inside of the vehicle sitting on center console so it would definitly work from inside of a waterproof phone holder .

no

i love this little thing it works so good.

Yes you can use a wifi hotspot from your phone and it works perfect. I usually upload offline map and also tether to hotspot. I get detailed maps and traffic updates when tethered and when no hotspot standard maps work. This thing is awsome

@@StoneBrokeAdventure thanks for the reply. ive just ordered one!

Yes . I am extremely happy with this thing

You do get turn by if connected to your hotspot on phone

iPads are able to handle multiple bluetooth connections at the same time. You should be good.

@@JoseteD thanks bro

i use hot spot with google maps on a regular ipad it works

@@StoneBrokeAdventure I have iPad WiFi only. I connected it with hotspot and started driving. It shows map but doesn’t do geolocation. It says “gps signal not found”. I am wondering if there is a work around or if a cellular iPad will work better? I don’t want to buy a new one with cellular before I am sure about it.

do u have the Garmin glo 2 connected

@@StoneBrokeAdventure No. I am not using that. I wanted to try other options.

mine operates normally without the fault led light flashing. no orange light.

Yes

Pudiste hacerlo ?

im not sure . i allways plug the ipad into the usb port to stream music while navigating

@@StoneBrokeAdventure No worries I will give it a try

What is the result here? Can we play music simultaneously?

i would not be the person to ask. i wouldn't doubt that it would work but if i were you i would reach out and contact Garmin the would have the answers you would need

@@StoneBrokeAdventure thanx for the answer

It works within a few seconds of powering on. But underground im Prety sure no gps will work. But as soon as you go where you can see the sky it would connect rather guickly.

@@StoneBrokeAdventure Thank you Stonebroke for your kind and fast reply!!! Oh yeah! Of course, I should've said when the car came out of underground and up above where the sky is in clear view. Regardless of no obstructions above the XGPS150A unit it doesn't pick up GPS signals until I don't know. I can't really measure as it differs all the time. I'm glad to hear from you that the Glo 2 picks up in a few seconds. I am buying it now. Thanks man!

traffic info comes through wifi or cellular so as you pass through cell service it will update

I did not have to do anything but find it on bluetooth. And it worked seemless

you have to do that with some android devices.

Yes you can

4

Yes

the glo is just a receiver antenna. it would depend on whatever software/app you are using for gps

@@StoneBrokeAdventure thank you

Im not sure but if your phone has gps im not sure why you would want to have a gps dongle for it.

​@@StoneBrokeAdventure Because iPhone GPS is A-GPS - "Assisted". It uses cell towers to help get a fix. "Car GPS" or your Garmin GLO use dedicated GPS, not assisted. Likewise for handheld hiking units. Without a cell tower nearby, iPhone A-GPS won't work. My XGPS150A connects to my iPhone, the app works, I can see which satellites I'm connected to and my coordinates...but the map apps all default to the A-GPS. Without cell service, the map apps act as if there's no GPS signal. I can test this by turning off the cellular antenna, as it simulates being in a "dead zone". It doesn't default to the bluetooth GPS. Map apps I've tried: (Google Maps, Google Earth, Apple Maps and an app called Maps.me). I want an accurate GPS beacon for Google Maps so I can download Offline maps to use when traveling in remote areas. I'm seriously thinking of getting an Android or Windows tablet and I've been using Apple computers, phones and tablets for almost 20 years.

You dont have to. It works with hot spot from phone.

Use whatever map app you want . The glo2 is the gps receiver for the i pad

Oh I bought it for android it syncs up that's as far as I get. No 2_green light on receiver@@StoneBrokeAdventure

If it is re routing but is still tracking it is a maping app issue (google maps, apple maps ect) the Garmin is just a gps receiver and does not know routs or roads I just knows your specific location On earth and the app uses that info to “Map” or “route” you

Yes

@@StoneBrokeAdventure Thanks for the reply, i will order one and put my ipad back to full operation. :)

hello, have you bought it yet? and did it work with Waze? thank you

@@oscar6640 it work, but you need a data plan due to Waze is unable to download full regional maps to navigate online. So dual connection is needed, one with Glo 2 and another with your cell to use the internet. But if you use Google maps with downloaded maps, works great offline.

@@harrymcdougat5624 thank you

Yes it will. If you have celular signal and you connect to phone hotspot you get full detail map with trafic info. As you lose cell signal your map cache will continue to work but very limited detail

@@StoneBrokeAdventure im planning my next road trip across the states and was considering using one of these over a data sim

@@StoneBrokeAdventure It didn't seem like you had limited detail. When you download a map like that, are you downloading all available detail for the area shown on the screen?

@@tayler2396 it is prety detailed the only drawback is lack of trafic data.what i do is download offline map and then use wifi hotspot from cell phone. extreemly accurate. the offline map is used as backup if cellular signal is lost in remot area or temp bac coverage. i

download offline maps form google maps. i mention that in the vidio.
