## Overview

The Garmin GLO 2 is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled GPS and GLONASS receiver that delivers faster and more accurate positioning by connecting to over 24 satellites simultaneously. Compatible with iOS and Android devices, it offers up to 13 hours of battery life and easy charging options, making it ideal for pilots, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals who demand reliable, real-time location data on the go.

## Description

Navigate with Garmin calibre 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. 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.

Review: It works with MotionX-GPS on an old iPad - 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?
Review: Great GPS for flying with Foreflight! - We've used this tiny GPS receiver in our Bonanza on several flights. It has worked very well and is accurate to within 4 meters, laterally. The battery is rated for 13 hours. It quickly pairs with our I-Pad Mini 6 and it's accuracy is great with Foreflight. We decided on this GPS unit so we could purchase the less expensive model I-Pad Mini6 without built in GPS. We researched the I-Pad with built-in GPS and many Pilots have had issues with getting a good GPS signal in the cabin. Not so with this Garmin unit. I place it on the dash for it to pick-up the satellites and once it pairs with the I-Pad, it is placed out of the sunlight and into a door handle recess. It continues to function just fine even though it is in a door pocket of our plane. Beware, this device WILL overheat in direct sunlight and shut-down. It cannot live on the dashboard of your plane. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there an app to see how many satellites and strength the device is currently connected to? Does it even have an app?**
A: 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.

**Q: Does this model have windows 10 support? want to use in 2 in one dell laptop/tablet. thank you.**
A: Yes

**Q: If you have this connected to say an iphone, how do you know which gps is working?  the phone's or the glo2**
A: One of the problems with that unit is that you need to assume your iPad or iPhone is logged into it. There’s no way of checking I could find. I returned my unit and purchased a a bad elf receiver which has a app that lets you see that your iPad is using the receiver as well as the accuracy of the signal you’re collecting.

**Q: Funciona con navionic?**
A: Si

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super easy pairing with iPad mini (A17)
*by E***T on September 27, 2025*

I paired with an iPad mini and my software- TerraMaps - picked up the GPS feed immediately! Works perfectly. Very impressed! Note that first thing on pairing it said there was no apps that could use it and wanted you to go to app store. I was afraid that it would only work with the apps shown. But I ignored it and all was right with my app.
