Super duper GPS unit.

Fantastic device! No negatives at all, compact in size, comes with charger, power plug adapter, and a silicone base which keeps it in place on dashboard. Just need a case to keep everything together. Bought it to work with my aviation software and works like a charm! NOTE: "WORKS" WITH iMaps & G Maps, but since those two programs do not download a database to iPad, your range is very limited. Problem is not with GPS, issue is with Apple & Google. Found app "GPS Copilot" that DOES download an entire database (you have several options) and it's free. Problem now, I need a bigger iPad. Anyway, connects easily with Bluetooth and tracks well. There's also an iPad app from Dual which gives you complete status (satellites, battery, location, etc.). If you're looking for a portable GPS receiver, this will fill the bill nicely.

Works for ForeFlight!!!

I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and I finally got the opportunity to test it out on a solo cross country. I am a student Pilot working on getting all licenses to get into the airlines some day and I very impressed with this product. For its age it still works perfectly and I am using iOS 10.2.1. The accuracy is amazing, up to 5 meters which is roughly 20 feet. As far as the battery life goes, its ideal, fairly average. It is a small device so you can't expect too much. The one draw back I had using it was finding a GPS satellites takes forever sometimes, but hey it's still functional. While I'm starting the engine and getting the weather I'll already have it on ahead of time.

pretty much make a standalone GPS unit obsolete

I've been using GPS for years, since they first started. Nowadays this thing, combined with one of the many topo map apps found on iPhone, pretty much make a standalone GPS unit obsolete. Works great, always finds a signal. Improves accuracy in the middle of nowhere and significantly will save your battery life on long trips. Used it on the John Muir trail and worked flawlessly.

Makes my iPad Air into a chart plotter.

I purchased XGPS 150A to run Navionics boating app for Canada and USA on my iPad Air. I have a Garmin gps on my boat, but the iPad screen is nicer to work on due to the fact it is portable and touch screen. I can move it from one boat to another very simple. The Duel Electronice xgps 150A is small very portable and connects in seconds. It is accurate as any gps out there. Battery lasts 8 hrs continuous use easily and charges very fast on my imuto charger. When not in use one touch button turns it off or on. It come with a rubber mount to set it on dash or whatever so it won’t slide. Just don’t leave it in direct sunlight it will get to hot and shut down like your phone. Also has a wristwatch band to strap t9 your wrist. Although it fits in a pocket and works just fine. I put it in the cabin of the boat and still picks up the satelites very well. I would recommend this unit to add gps to non gps devices.

Works Perfectly.... Does the Job for Me for Sure

Wow... Does a great job... I have gotten 8 hours out of it before I need to plug it in to recharge and then use it at the same time... I use this unit in conjunction with my iPad Mini in my truck. I set up the iPad on the center console as my navigation aide (Using Waze) and the GPS unit then sits on top of my dash. I have never had an issue with it... Stays connected (bluetooth) without a problem... I have also set this unit up on the center console as well... Since I have a moonroof the unit continues to pick up a signal.... If I am on a 10 hour trip its no big deal to plug the unit into my truck and then have the unit charging while it is connected (bluetooth) to my iPad...

Wonderful Product

This is the coolest thing for my iPad. I wish I had purchased the 3G iPad that comes with a GPS Receiver, but since I didn't, this device makes it possible for me to use many GPS enabled iPad apps. Some apps will not install on the iPad if it is not 3G even if you have this device so use caution when buying the apps. I do experience an issue when switching between apps while I am using this device. The iPad seems to lose the GPS even though the utility with this device shows that it is clearly working. I DO NOT believe that the issue is with this device, I believe it is a software issue, but it's something to be aware of if you use this. The remedy is to shut down both applications (if you can figure out how to do that on an iPad) or shut the iPad off and then back on which is what I do. It doesn't take very long, but if you are in the city and using this for navigation and your turn is coming up, watch out!! Again, I don't think it's the device's issue. I use this with the CoPilot navigation app and the What's Next app and a few others. 8/7/2012 - I took this device on a 2400 mile trip and it worked great with my iPad 2 and CoPilot and other apps. One thing I learned about my iPad is how to actually shut apps down without rebooting the thing. I'm a pretty tech savvy guy so when someone asked me about shutting the app down and restarting it I had to say I didn't know how and eat a bit of crow. Shoot, for all of you who have iPads and don't know, double-tap the center button and little window at the bottom opens/raises up and shows you all the apps that are running. Hold your finger down on one of the app icons until they start shaking and have a red minus sign on them. Touch the minus sign of the ones you want to shut down and viola, you are done. Click the button once to get them to stop shaking, click again to exit. I thought I was shutting down all my apps when I rebooted the darn thing, but no. When I double-tapped that button the first time, EVERY app on my iPad was running because at one time or another I had opened it and never closed them. I guess you learn something new all the time even when you thought you knew it ALL already.

Fantastic GPS for Aviation

Purchased this to replace a 30 pin Bad Elf for my iPad 3, used in connection with Foreflight. I loved the Bad Elf but wanted something didn't physically connect to the iPad as it was pretty easy to knock the Bad Elf out of the port, plus wanted the flexibility to use it with other devices. Pairing was easy (both for iPad and a Note 4 running Lollipop), pretty quick fix from cold start and slightly better accuracy, with a 4M margin of error (the Bad Elf never reported better than 5M) . It comes with a sticky rubberized holder that can lay flat and stay put on any surface. It also has an armband so you can wear it. Took it with me on recent commercial flight, quick acquisition, never lost the fix, although I was sitting in a window seat. Great unit and options, only drawback compared to the Bad Elf is that it is battery powered and charges via USB, whereas the Bad Elf is powered off of the iPad. 8 hours of battery life, so small inconvenience.

This works fine and I don't need multiple devices to connect to ...

Only used on one flight, but it worked flawlessly with foreflight. Turned it on and threw it on the dash. By the time I was taxing it had satellite lock and was active under "devices" in foreflight. Was tempted to get the more expense XGPS160, but I don't really see the need. This works fine and I don't need multiple devices to connect to it.

My WiFi only iPAD mini now has GPS! Google Maps...bring it on!

It works much better than I had expected. I have an older WiFi only iPad Mini (1st generation) running ios 9.3.5 that I wanted to use for navigation but as you all know, WiFi only ipads do not have built-in GPS. As soon as my iPad mini connected to the Dual XGPS105A via Bluetooth (which was painless btw), it asked to download the accompanying app. The app is very useful. It tells you how many satellites you are connected to, the satellite numbers, the signal strength, position information, position confidence readouts, and the battery status. I turned it on in the house because I couldn’t wait but to my surprise I was able to connect to 10+ satellites with ease. Like many other GPS devices, I thought I would have to go outside. With the GPS locked and loaded, I proceeded to test out Google Maps and Waze. Both worked flawlessly. Even my NOAA weather radar map is now location enabled. Awesome. I have taken it down the road a few times now, about 100 miles total, without issue but I will update this review once I have a longer road trip under my belt. I was really not expecting Google Maps to work because I never seen it mentioned as a supported app in any of the forums or reviews. This thing is golden. I can't wait to try it against other devices, like a newer ipad, windows tablet, android device, and some surveying equipment. I will report back, but so far so good.

Great Unit !!!

Great GPS Unit. I use it with my iPad Pro 9.7" for a large vehicle map while driving. It is much easier to glance at a large map on the iPad than the smaller screen on my phone while driving. Battery last a long time. I am getting at least 6 to 7 hours out of a charge. I do wish the charging port was a micro-USB and not a mini-USB. It makes for another different charging cable I have to carry. The unit also powers on as soon as I plug in the charging cable. I would prefer that you had to power it on to use it. I often charge it before a trip and don't need it powered on while just charging. These are minor issues. I love the unit and it works great, quick satellite linkup and good solid operation.
