Does the Garmin GLO 2 GPS sensor work with Google Maps and wifi only Ipad? YES!!!!!
This Bluetooth GPS sensor has Seamless integration. easy setup. totally worth the $$$$. Download offline maps through google maps connect to sensor via bluetooth and BAM!!! it just works

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
Well, I went ahead and purchased this awesome device and did the following:
Downloaded an offline google map of my area.
Went to my car, and set up the IPad on one of those removal stands for cars.
Connected the Garmin and paired it to the Ipad.
Then paired the Ipad to the car and also connected my android phone via bluetooth and only selected to act as a phone and have the IPad as audio player.
Making sure the wifi was turned off, then selected a destination after the Garmin connected (green light)
Well I am well and truly impressed with the accuracy as you say here it is simply amazing!!
awsome. i love this thing. i have hade if for a couple of years and it allways works
Anyone using their iPad/Pro CELLULAR version that does actually have GPS but has issues with accuracy should also look into this. Most iPads that have GPS don't use "GLONASS" and only use standard GPS/GNSS. Main reason I'm getting this. Solves all GPS accuracy issues.
I personally use my iPad Pro 4th Gen as my cars headunit and have been dealing with weird GPS issues when satellites would be at odd angles to my devices view.
I have found for longer trips that would go outside the off line map, such as for LD motorcycling you need to hot spot your phone so it will update the google live map on the ipad as you ride. The map will cache and let you continue with the Glo 2 giving the location and allow you to navigate while in areas of no cell coverage. The detail might be less, but it still works.
Not perfect, but keeps you moving. SO far I am liking this set up, as I can run my ipad on the bike for navigation with the garmin as back up.
Will be running in a 60 hour long distance motorcycle rally this weekend with about a 2500 mile route that will go through several states and areas of no cell coverage. I will have a Garmin back up running along side it. This is a test run for a much longer rally coming up next summer.
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.
Nice to know it works with Google Maps thanks for the review. Take care.
Just received mine yesterday. It works great for my non cellular ipad for waze and yet to try for aviation . It will take few moment to get the gps fix. Even my phones gps are doing it sometimes. Its really worth it.
yea i love mine
Bought 5th gen ipad pro 12.9 wifi
Thinking of buying this
Thanks for the video
did it work ? with the ipad pro ? have a 12.9 wifi, thinking of buying this
Just tried this with my ipad, no cellular, and it work perfectly!
Awesome.
I am wondering, is there any to use any of the Garmin handheld GPS to act like GLO to be used as a external GPS to iPad/android tablets? That would be epic useful.
One thing it does really well after 1 day of using is conserve the iPad's battery. Cache the route ahead by adding stops while in town will most of the time get you through.
Thanks mr, I’ve looking for this information for a very long time.
This is exactly what I need! Thank you
Does this also work with the sygic truck & caravan navigation app?
^^ simple and clean explanation, Thank you!
My Samsung Tab A's GPS recently took a dump. I noticed this will replace the device GPS. I could buy a brand new Tab A for $20 more. But, I have an ipad mini (w/o cellular) and a couple more devices that will work as well. Could save a lot. Thanks!
i love this little thing it works so good.
Ignoring cost differences, does an iPad paired with Glo 2 have any advantages over a cellular iPad with built-in GPS?
Thanks for the very informative video. do you need to turn the garmin glo and push the on buttom each time u start driving ?
no
Awesome review! Thanks! Question... I want to use this for a few things...
(CAR) I live in Alaska so cell phone GPS is terrible. That said I want to use it for driving as I loose cell GPS signal once through the mountains.
(OUTDOORS) Hiking, out in the bush, or out in the ocean... is there a way to strap this outside a backpack? Is it water proof? Are there cases for it to be strapped in a carbineer? (Or is this more of a bad Elf GPS+ option I need for outdoors?)
(PLANE) For use with Foreflight whether I'm flying myself (GA) or up at the FL from ANC to ORD.
Would be great if it had an emergency button or emergency texting capabilities, but I guess only the InReach or Zoleo will do that...
Thanks
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 .
Thanks for the video, exectly thats what I need
If the tablet has LTE, can I still use GLO on thr map instead of LTE?
Yes
So I can’t play music from my iPad to my car speakers (via Bluetooth) while using this?
Thanks. Brilliant.
If i had a Samsung tab A8 works also?
what exactly does this device do? Do this enable turn by turn if I didnt not download offline google maps? My galaxy s9 will be useless if I lose data and cell reception.
this review is simply fantastic.
I do however have a question.
Can the ipad be connected, in addition to, to the car radio for spotify?
Thanks
iPads are able to handle multiple bluetooth connections at the same time. You should be good.
@@JoseteD thanks bro
Great video. Thanks. Can I use iPad for Waze navigation by connecting my iPhone’s hotspot? Do I need cellular iPad ?
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.
Can i connect my ipad to bloetooth car speaker while connect to garmin?
Can please someone explain me what protocoll this garmin uses? i want to send gps data from my android phone to my Ipad mini 4
Pudiste hacerlo ?
I bought a Garmin GLO 2 myself to use with my iPad wifi only model.
I have a question for you.
When GLO 2 is powered ON and plugged in, does your status LED work properly? Does it seem like it is alternate blinking between green & orange?? I had my GLO2 charging for almost 4 hours and that is what I see. As per the manual that means "Faulty battery or system error". I read from one review that it appears like that but is working normally.
So I am wondering how yours is?
mine operates normally without the fault led light flashing. no orange light.
Can you use this for maps plus have your iPad connected to your cellular iPhone for streaming music? I’m thinking of using my iPad in my car since I don’t have Apple CarPlay on my car but my iPad is Wi-Fi only so I don’t get turn by turn directions for maps.
Yes . I am extremely happy with this thing
You do get turn by if connected to your hotspot on phone
thanks - this helped me
iHave the ios 9 version of maps and when i use it its calibration always changes it dos not stay on the blue line
Very nice information
Perfect
What about if you want traffic info
traffic info comes through wifi or cellular so as you pass through cell service it will update
Was thinking of using one of these with my drone to get more accurate positioning with the maps when connected to the ipad. can you not use Wifi tethered to a phone instead of downloading the maps?
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!
Thanks
Any time . We just finished a 6000 mile road trip. It worked really good.
I have iPad 6. gen. and wanna use it for avionics navigation. Is it possible and safe?
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
Hi Stonebroke, Can you connect your ipad Bluetooth to car’s Bluetooth speaker while getting connected to Gramin?
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?
Many reviews say you need to download an app called "Bluetooth GPS" and put it in Mock mode before it will talk to the device. Did you need to do that as your video did not show this step. Maybe only need it with an android tablet?
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.
can you charge the glo2 while using it?
Yes you can
Does the glo have a compass?
the glo is just a receiver antenna. it would depend on whatever software/app you are using for gps
@@StoneBrokeAdventure thank you
Does it work with Waze normaly?
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
Hi Stonebroke.
I am wondering how long it takes to load up GPS on cold start. Cuz, I bought Dual XGPS150A and it works well when the car is parked outside(Hot start). But when the car is parked underground parking lot its performance is shockingly shit. It doesn't receive GPS until I don't know when. I was hoping if you could share your experience with Garmin Glo 2.
Thanks.
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!
Mine is not re-routing? any idea?
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
How many devices can you connect to the GLO 2? Thanks!
4
Can i use it with wifi on? While connected to the internet via iphone hotspot?
Yes
🖤🖤
why do we have to download a map with the glo 2.. waze works with out doing that..
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
Will it work without downloading offline maps
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
I have a XGPS-150 that I can connect to my iPhone but my iPhone seems to default to the onboard aGPS. Is there any way to use a bluetooth GPS with the iPhone or just the iPad?
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.
I use Google maps and Garmin GLO2 off road no reception or internet and it shows dot where are you on the map but you save it and Google maps can't get you there again, useless.
download offline maps form google maps. i mention that in the vidio.
