With the Garmin GLO 2 you can take advantage of highly accurate position information on your iPad, iPhone or Android device. The Garmin GLO receives GPS and GLONASS information simultaneously, allowing it to receive up to 24 more satellites than devices that receive only GPS satellites. This allows GLO to determine its position approximately 20% faster.
Getting the Garmin GLO 2 up and running is easy.
The GLO connects to your mobile device using Bluetooth wireless technology. Place your GLO within range of your mobile device and within moments you will receive position data from your GLO. This device has a battery life of up to 13 hours to keep track of your position even on long trips. And charging the GLO is very easy with the included USB cable and an optional 12/24 V lighter socket.
