DualSkyPro GPS Receiver for iPad/Android Tablets (Black/Red, XGPS 160)

Using it for sailing ...Navigation in the Med through a charts App on my iPad... Perfect for the job .. also amusing to use in the car in uk .. more accurate positioning than my cars sat nav

The Skypro XGPS160 is a cracking and well-made bit of kit. I wanted to boost the 1ghz GPS signal on my Iphone 5 when using the IOS version of Harry''s LapTimer, on track. (Background data recording only)Initial set up and pairing, via Bluetooth, took about 30 seconds and when required, the SkyPro's power-on connection to the phone was immediate, with bright lights clearly indicating the device and satellite connection status. Satellites were found very quickly and retained an 'excellent' positional signal all day. (Download the free Skypro GPS app from the App Store for detailed real-time connection info) And as required, my GPS signal was boosted to 10ghz. Lasted a full day, as well, on a single USB charge.A tad expensive maybe but just worked, with no issues, so worth it in my opinion.

As a developer of apps for phone and pads I am impressed by this little GPS device. Works like a dream and the customer service if the company is also second to none

Great product works well with my 9.7-inch Apple iPad Pro (WiFi only) and co-pilot car sat nav software. I have also tested it on my windows 10 flip-top and once i added GPSComplete/GPSDirect additional software to solve compatibly issues with microsoft sensor/location API found in windows 10 it worked with Microsoft map. The only negative is that i have not been able to stop it dropping the connection with OSX El Capitan.Simple to set up works out of the box. Great little non-slip mat for mounting on clean smooth surfaces. Going forward I have only two concerns: support from the manufacturer does not get good reviews (but I have not had to test this so far) and it drains its battery quite quickly. Not a problem for in car use although a double usb cigarette charger would be an improvement on the single one provided but when walking in the mountains an external booster battery pack, solar charger and traditional magnetic compass & map are advised additions.

Great piece of kit. Simple to set up and use. No GPS drop out at all ...does 'what it says on the tin'.

I've had nothing but problems with this gps which I have been attempting to use with an aviation app. Connection to both my android phone and iPad mini 4 are unreliable and the battery doesn't hold charge after less than 12 months of use. The device is also sensitive to heat and even in mild conditions will shut down. The company sells a one dollar replacement battery for $35 and has been unhelpful with my support requests so it's going in the bin. At least my map and compass skills have stayed sharp.

Does the job very well. I use it with Harry's Lap Timer on iPhone. So far it has saved me (or at least deferred) spending thousands on the dedicated kit that many drivers use.

Very good
