Garmin GLO 2 Bluetooth GPS GLONASS Receiver Product Description
Unlock Superior Navigation Anywhere with GLO 2
Imagine cruising through challenging terrains or skies where your phone's built-in GPS falters—dense forests, urban canyons, or high altitudes. The Garmin GLO 2 steps in as your reliable sidekick, delivering pinpoint accuracy by tapping into both GPS and GLONASS satellite networks. This dual-receiver magic means faster locks, unwavering signals during motion, and position refreshes up to 10 times per second. No more frustrating dropouts or sluggish updates that plague standard smartphone GPS.
Real-World Edge Over Everyday GPS
While most mobiles stick to GPS alone, GLO 2 doubles down by accessing more satellites—potentially 24 versus the usual 12-16. Hikers report quicker fixes in wooded areas, pilots praise stability at speeds up to 800 knots, and boaters rely on it in choppy waters. Its WAAS enhancement pushes accuracy to within 3 meters, turning guesswork into confidence-boosting precision.
Versatile Applications for Every Adventure
- Aviation Enthusiasts: Pair with flight apps for seamless synthetic vision, weather overlays, and flight planning—ideal for VFR pilots needing backup beyond panel avionics.
- Outdoor Explorers: Whether backpacking remote trails or geocaching in valleys, enjoy sub-second hot starts (3-5 seconds) and reliable tracking without draining your phone's battery.
- Marine Navigators: Maintain course over open water or through inlets, where multipath errors from buildings don't interfere.
- Everyday Drivers: Mount it on the dash for turn-by-turn reliability in tunnels or heavy foliage without relying on spotty cellular signals.
Bluetooth pairing is effortless across iOS and Android (with compatible apps), making it a plug-and-play upgrade for any mapping or navigation software.
Effortless Setup and Endurance
Power up GLO 2, enable Bluetooth on your device, and within moments, it's streaming data wirelessly—no cables, no fuss. Its compact form (barely larger than a matchbox at 1.65 x 3.04 x 0.70 inches) slips into pockets or attaches via the optional friction mount for dashboards. A 1150mAh battery lasts up to 13 hours of continuous use, perfect for all-day outings. Recharge via USB or the included vehicle cable during drives.
