Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS Receiver

The Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS receiver works with all EFB apps on iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch devices, as well as Bluetooth-enabled Android, Windows (include Surface) and OS X devices.

An external GPS is recommended even if your iPad has the internal assisted GPS, because the assisted GPS uses cell towers to create its initial fix, and it designed for use on the ground. If you don't capture a signal before leaving the ground or if you lose a signal once in the air, you may never recapture a signal again.

Just like its predecessor, the popular XGPS150, the Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS receiver is very simple to use. There is a quick set up process that includes pairing your tablet with the unit. Once this is done, SkyPro will automatically connect to the device it was last paired with, and you will be able to use it with hundreds of apps that require location information. The WAAS GPS receiver will run for up to 10 hours on a charge, and can be recharged using the included 12-28VDC cigarette lighter adapter, from any PC, or from the USB charger which came with your tablet/phone.

This WAAS GPS receiver also comes with a useful GPS Status Tool app. (Available free on the iTunes App Store). The app allows you to turn on and off the automatic route recording feature, and to export the stored log file information. The Status Tool app also shows detailed information from the GPS Receiver including:

• Your location (or whether the device is still determining where you are)
• How many satellites the device sees and the signal strength of each satellite
• The battery level of the GPS Receiver, and whether or not it is charging
• Confirmation the GPS Receiver is successfully connected to your iPad/iPod touch/iPhone
