Garmin GLO 2 GPS & GLONASS Receiver | 13 Hours Battery Life | Bluetooth Wireless Technology

This product is Incredible. I was struggling with my phone constantly losing tracking while im driving and I got lost driving multiple times because of this, it was horrendous. I talked to a technician saying if he could fix my gps issue on my phone, he said the problem might happen again in a month or two if he fixes it. I was about to buy a used phone until I saw this and it was the right choice.It is flawless, working perfectly and never lost its tracking once. The gps tracking is better than any phone on the market right now because of its 10 HZ refresh rate (how many times it updates its position per second) compared to most phones which is 1 HZ. Which means it scans your position 10 times per second compared to a phone which is typically 1 time per second. More satellites which is more accurate and a much stronger signal.I literally have no complaints, this is one of the best products I've bought this year and if you have a similar issue on your phones gps like mine or just need a good gps device in general, look no further, this product is your solution.

It worked great on my iPad but stopped after the iOS 26 update. The Bluetooth connects but won’t do position reporting. According to ChatGPT, iOS 26 only supports BLE devices. Now I’m stuck with a paperweight. What a shame. Perhaps Apple will reconsider but for now I cannot use ForeFlight…

Good working

Ondanks meerprijs voor express bezorging te laat bezorgd 😥Kastje functioneert prima!

I purchased this to use with a wi-fi iPad Mini 6, which does not have GPS to use it in a motorhome and give me a decent sized screen for navigation maps such as Google. Only the cellular iPad supports GPS fully. I charged the GOL 2 fully and, after powering up, my iPad found its bluetooth connection easily and paired to it without needing to enter any codes. The GOL 2 locked on to satellites quickly when placed on the dashboard. I used the supplied USB cable to link it to an adapter in a 12v socket. I could easily have left it unplugged to run just on battery for @13hours quoted runtime. A longer dedicated 12v cable terminated in a 12v plug could also be used.The first test was a 130 mile return journey. I found the accuracy for using maps notably superior to the GPS on my Samsung phone with pinpont location, very fast re-routing after a wrong turn and all live traffic updates, such as congestion, shown. Others have reported that it's best used with an offline map, which may sacrifice these updates, but for me it worked perfectly in live mode. For that it's still necessary to have some form of internet connection for the device that is using the GOL2 + mapping.app I have this available via a Vision Plus Status 570 with built in wi-fi, but you could just as easily use a phone as a hotspot or a mi-fi unit.The price may seem a bit on the steep side, but I can now set up a screen on my iPad that just has the apps & widgets I need when driving and even configure a split screen to display maps + a BBC Sounds radio channel. All that has saved splashing out hundreds of GBP to have a new multimedia head unit with DAB radio fitted to a 10 year old vehicle.

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.

Excellent little GPS device. Purchased it for use in an aviation environment. Advisory only role. Small form factor. It’s basically a key fob that transmits GPS data to a smartphone or tablet. If you use this in a B787 it won’t capture satellites unless it’s placed in ‘that’ location. 😁

J’utilise le Garmin GLO 2 depuis plusieurs semaines, principalement pour améliorer la précision GPS sur smartphone et tablette (iOS et Android), et je suis très satisfait. Le jumelage Bluetooth est rapide et stable, et la précision de positionnement est excellente, y compris en environnement difficile (forêt, ville dense, cockpit…).✅ Points forts :Double constellation GPS + GLONASS : acquisition rapide des satellites et précision accrue, même en zone mal couverteTaux de rafraîchissement 10 Hz : très utile pour les activités où la réactivité compte (navigation, aviation, drone, relevés de terrain)Autonomie solide : environ 12–13 heures d'utilisation en continu, se recharge via USBCompatibilité iOS/Android/Windows : fonctionne parfaitement avec Google Maps, Strava, ForeFlight, etc.Format compact et léger, se glisse facilement dans une poche ou s’attache avec un clip ceinture (vendu séparément)
