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

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.

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.

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.

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

Update: Happy to say a new iphone app from Dual will now allow export / Email of 10hz .GPZ files with a max of 2 hours data loging. Internal data logger will only output a 1Hz .KML file even though the device captures 10Hz (10 GPS readings per second), so using it on it's own for motorsport is useless, it needs to be connected by bluetooth to a phone/tablet app to get the 10Hz. It works well with Track Addict for Android.

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.

Ich habe mir das Gerät für off-road Navigation gekauft, weil mit iphone und ipad der Empfang zu schlecht ist (und somit auch die Genauigkeit). Auf einer Islandreise hat sich das GPS 160 sehr gut bewährt - sehr schnelle Positions updates mit hoher Genauigkeit. Zusammenarbeit mit iphone und ipad klappt problemlos. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ist die Bedienbarkeit des Datenloggers - die Aufzeichnungsfrequenz ist fix (und sehr hoch). Bei einem mehrstündigen Fussmarsch hat man tausende von Datenpunkten, wo es ein paar Dutzend auch täten. Verbesserungsvorschlag - Aufzeichnungsfrequenz einstellbar, Aufzeichnung vom Gerät aus Starten/Stoppen können, wäre hilfreich. Insgesamt ein sehr gutes und funktionelles Gerät. Preis/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

I originally bought this four years ago (just two weeks short of four years) to mount on the hood of my off-road car. The car just turned 8,000 miles this weekend, and XGPS finally died. Those were 8,000 rough miles through heat, dust, rain, and snow--mostly very bumpy miles. This poor little puck has been through a lot and has seen some things. I was bummed when it finally gave out, especially since we were exploring new territory that I would have loved to have recorded. I'm not bitter though. The first thing I did when I got home from the trip is ordered a replacement. It came out to about two-cents per hard mile, which seems worth it to me. That comes out to about $2.50 per long riding day, which is absolutely a bargain. I mounted mine to my CanAm's hood with the MobArmor case. I connect it to the iPad on my dash via Bluetooth and it's been pretty bullet-proof for four years. The only down-side is that the power draw is higher than the MiniUSB connection can support, so I have to remove it from the car every night and fully charge it before the next day's ride. Otherwise it will power down after a few hours of driving. If we're going on a night-ride on the same day, I definitely need to remove it and recharge it, otherwise it will quit and leave us roaming in the dark with very few visible landmarks. It comes with basic software. I definitely recommend adding better aftermarket software to the iPad. I use LeadNav off-road race software and the combo of this puck, the iPad, and LeadNav is a superior setup. Everyone else in my group has something basic in their cars, but mine is the most reliable and informative. The consequence is that I'm the designated leader for 99% of our trips because I have a nav that I can use while we're moving instead of having to stop and figure out what's what. Here's to another four years and another 8,000 miles.

Tecnicamente, come GPS è grandioso! Fixa tanti satelliti, velocemente. La possibilta' di agganciare via BT 5 diversi apparecchi e' comodissima. 2 difetti: 1) app di gestione solo per Iphone, quindi con android e PC non si riesce a gestire al meglio l'apparecchio ma si può solo usare come antenna. 2) servizio di assistenza della casa produttrice scandaloso. Ho mandato diverse mail al servizio assistenza del produttore [ ... ] senza ottenere alcuna risposta. Ho provato a contattarli anche tramite la pagina facebook, senza risultato. Sinceramente la questione e' seccante.

以前使用していたXGPS150より受信感度が良く、Bluetoothとの接続にかかる時間も短縮されています。 Batteryの持ちも長くなりました。問題は1つ、Amazonに出品されている金額は市販の倍しております。 今回必要に迫られ高額でも購入しましたが、今後は予め前もって代理店からの購入をします。

Magnifico receptor GPS, conectado al iPad pro sin ningún problema
