Garmin GLO 2 External GPS and GLONASS Receiver with Bluetooth

The Garmin GLO 2 is an external GPS/GLONASS receiver designed to provide location data to smartphones and tablets. It acts as an alternative to the internal GPS chips found in mobile devices. By receiving signals from two satellite constellations, the unit improves positioning accuracy in challenging environments. It features an update rate of up to 10 Hz, providing position data ten times a second. This high update rate is useful for high-speed travel or precise tracking.

A rechargeable battery supports continuous use during travel or outdoor activities. The receiver is compatible with iPad, iPhone, and Android platforms and works with most navigation apps. It includes both a vehicle power cable and a USB cable for charging. The compact design allows the module to fit easily into a pocket or bag. Bluetooth handles all data transfers, allowing the host tablet or phone to dedicate its processing power to the mapping software.
