    Add GPS to many Bluetooth devices that don’t have GPS built in.

     

    Before buying this product be sure to read all the latest info at the Dual website to make it will do what you need it do. Dual link is below.

    ThIf you have an iPad, you don’t have GPS. That’s true of a lot of other device too. But with the self-powered Dual Bluetooth GPS Receiver you can add GPS via Bluetooth! The XGPS150 is certified to work with all Bluetooth-enabled iPad2, iPad, iPod touch and iPhone models. But it also works with other Bluetooth-enabled smart phones, tablets and laptops, including Blackberry, Android and Windows devices that support Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile). There is a Free App available, which shows satellite signal strength, current location, the battery level of the XGPS150, connectivity status and a few other device-specific tidbits. The app can be downloaded through iTunes. The XGPS150 Bluetooth GPS Receiver comes with the necessary accessories to be used for a variety of activities. The included non-slip pad is very useful for GPS navigation in a car or a boat. The two-piece strap which works as an armband and to secure the receiver to a backpack strap, for example, is great for outdoor activities such as golfing, geocaching, cycling, hiking and more. The XGPS150 is small, measuring about 2.25" square, which makes it very easy to take just about anywhere. Like with any other Bluetooth electronics, you will first have to pair the GPS Receiver with the device you intend to use it with. This should take less than a minute and then you can begin using your iPad2, iPad, iPod, etc. with apps that require GPS. Under $100.
