Inconsistent signal by Jeff from Mount Juliet TN USA
Pros: Indicates position on charts! Cons: Undependable signal Review: With the unit on top of the glare shield, it takes a bit to begin working (showing your position on the chart). Once it begins working, it will from time to time, stop showing position as though it's not receiving the satellite signal it needs. When it works, it's an incredible tool, showing your position on sectional charts, approach plates and low altitude enroute charts. Just don't depend on it.

Reliable for secondary navigation by A Customer from Wasilla AK USA
Pros: lightweight, simple and good battery life Cons: button is a little hard to push, also can be a plus Review: I enjoy this product, it works well throughout the whole area above 60 North, battery powered lasted for 6 1/2 hours on full charge for one flight and was able to connect is to the accessory outlet for the remainder. I use it with a Nexus 7 tablet and get great results.

3 star rating is generous by A Customer from Washington, D.C.
Pros: Easy to use Cons: Not completely reliable Review: The device frequently has problems pairing up with my ForeFlight-equipped IPads, sometimes taking 20 minutes or longer for the IPad to recognize the GPS unit. I often have to reset my IPad's network settings, which results in all my stored network connections and passwords being lost.
The device, despite being charged for hours, often will register under 90% percent battery life upon startup.
The unit has failed on two separate occasions in flight, both times at low altitudes while navigating in controlled airspace.

Will not work at high altitudes by A Customer from St. Joseph, Missouri
Pros: Works as advertised below 39,700 feet. Cons: Will not work at the altitudes where we fly! Review: It works just fine until we climb above 39,700 feet. When we hit that altitude it stops providing any location information. It still shows that it is connected however. We use it in a Learjet Model 45 and always fly at 40,000 feet and above. So this does not work for us. Contacted the manufacturer who informed us that they were aware of the problem, that it was the chip used in the unit we had and we were instructed to return it and they would ship out one with a chip that would work at higher altitudes. We had to pay shipping to ship it back. A replacement unit arrived about a week later. Same problem. It quits providing location information at exactly 39,700 feet. Their answer was to ship it back again and they would replace it. Every time I send it back it cost us another $20.00.

Works as advertised. by A Customer from Lees Summit MO USA
Pros: Small, light weight, stays put. Cons: Non that I've found so far. Review: The unit paired easily with my ipad and connects every time I turn it on. I've only used it once in flight, but the tracking with AOPA's FlyQ EFB software was dead on.
I also use it with a GPS app in my iPad. If I zoom in tight, it will show me changing lanes on the interstate. That's accuracy!

DUAL XGPS150A in a 757 over the NAT or WATRS by Glenn from Astoria NY USA
Pros: small, easy to place, Cons: weak battery life Review: This is a good product. It performs as expected. I am using it for North Atlantic and WATRS area. It works from taxi out to taxi into the gate and up to FL 400 (40,000). Its important to have it plugged into an external battery. I use this in conjunction with Jepps and and IPAD 2. For 100 dollars a great value.

Just what the doctor ordered by Andrew from Mackay QLD Australia
Pros: Size, simplicity to use Cons: Charge cord not accommodated by dashmat provided Review: Really let down with my purchase of the iPad 4 when I went with the non 4G one and after purchase realized that model was without GPS. After a lot of surfing I found the xgps150 and thought this might be a way of getting my iPad back up to spec ... Well it performs fantastically well right out of the box. Little teething problems getting them to talk to each other but after a reboot and getting the sequence right it has performed flawlessly. Down side is that the charge cable isn't accommodated by the dashboard mat so in a car can be a little challenge to charge and use at the same time without it falling off the dash (we do a lot of 4wding). Also thought it might be nice to hook up with the use of a cord rather than only via Bluetooth but these as only small gripes. The app suggested to use is an excellent interface keeping you aware of your exact position elevation signal strength and battery life. All in all very happy with my purchase. It is priced competitively but postage I feel was a little over what it should have been to Australia.

drops out with no warning by A Customer from Honolulu HI USA
Pros: Allows georeferencing between islands in Hawaii, which the iPad mini doesn't Cons: Georeferencing stops with no indication of a problem Review: I fly in Hawaii between islands.
Without the XGPS150, there would be no GPS coverage between islands with the assisted GPS in the iPad Mini and the FlyQ program from AOPA and Seattle Avionics. That's a good thing. The georeferencing stopped at the edge of Oahu when flying over water without the XGPS.
Here's the problem. While the FlyQ georeferencing now works between islands, I have to keep my eye on it as the plane will stop moving with no warning. Another problem is the heading shown on the FlyQ differs significantly (as much as 90 degrees difference) from the direction the plane is pointing in the georeferenced sectional. It works on the instrument approach procedure.
Here's how I know this. I have a Garmin 296 which has NEVER had any such problems between islands in the last 4 years of using it. The Garmin indicates my georefenced position to cross check the FlyQ and the XGPS. The Garmin and the XGPS sit side by side on the glareshield so it's not a problem with satellite signals. The XGPS shows many satellites in the setup with strong signals, so it's not a loss of signal problem.

Works great with iPad. No cables or connections. by George I. Robb's from Saint Cloud FL USA
Pros: Easy to program into the iPad Cons: Wish a 110 volt charge came with it or that one would be available. Review: As a sport student, I've used it in conjunction with my iPad and it will certainly help you stay on course. Well worth the money. The only thing I've found is that I have to keep it charged through the lighter in my vehicle since I'm a student and don't want to leave it in the plane.

Doesn't work with Nexus 7 by bajadrifter from Huntersville NC
Pros: good for iPad Cons: not for latest Android tablets Review: I bought this unit to use Garmin Pilot on my Nexus 7 Android table. It turns out that the XGPS150A does not work with the latest release "jellybean" of the Android operating system. I called Dual customer service and they said they are aware of the problem and they have their engineers working on it. That was a week ago and still no update.
The XGPS work well with the iPad...just not yet with the highly desirable Nexus 7.

Very impressed. Love it! by Stephen from Haltom City TX USA
Pros: small, long battery, easy to use, super easy to set up. Cons: None found yet Review: I use it for my iPad with ForeFlight and it really works great. I just turn it on, throw it on the dash and try not to forget it when I put the plane up. It always locks on to plenty of satellites and the accuracy is very nice. My opinion is that it is well worth the cost. Especially since you can use it for all kinds of devices.

Easy connection, FAST, accurate! by Tom from Hampton GA USA
Pros: Fast and Accurate! Cons: None Review: The Dual XGPS150 connected to my iPhone's Bluetooth easily and quickly, and was then quickly found enough satellites to enable GPS functionality, much more quickly and accurately than the GPS that's built into the iPhone or iPad. I placed the Dual unit into the included rubber dash pad, placed it on the glareshield, and forgot about it. Nothing to do but to "GPS" around the sky! The downloadable software utility is useful for determining battery strength, amongst other things. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours of use, still had 40% remaining, but I went ahead and charged it at this point. This is a must-have!

Like the Bad Elf, but harder to misplace by A Customer from Iowa City IA USA
Pros: Compared to the Bad Elf has the advantage that it's bigger and you handle it separately from the iPad. So it's harder for me to lose it. Cons: Compared to the Bad Elf, it has the disadvantage that you have to charge it up, although it seems to hold its charge longer than the iPad it Review: I had a Bad Elf external GPS, and it worked great until I lost it. The problem with the Bad Elf is that it is easily dislodged from its receptacle in the iPad when you handle the Ipad. When it falls off, you're unlikely to notice that it's gone, and you might have trouble finding it. I lost mine once, somebody found it in a parking lot and put it in lost-and-found so that I recovered it, but then I lost it again for good. I don't have a habit of losing other stuff - just the Bad Elf.
So I then got the Dual external GPS to replace my lost Bad Elf. It works just as well.

An asset to the cockpit! by Ray S. from CO USA
Pros: Everything about it. Cons: Can't think of any. Review: I recently purchased the Duel XGPS150 and feel that it was the best $100 I've spent on a navigation tool so far. I have an iPad without an internal GPS, and needed a unit so I could use my ForeFlight software. This little unit works like a champ! I just turn it on, set it on top of the instrument panel in my Piper Cherokee 235, and forget about it. Just make sure it's charged before you fly, and it will last several hours. I have also used it with my iPad in my Jeep Grand Cherokee to navigate! I love it!

Good unit for one device by Jim from Phoenix AZ USA
Pros: Easy to charge, sits nicely on glareshield Cons: Does not support multi-device conncetion, poor advertising on usage. Review: We bought the GPS to be used in a King Air, hoping that both pilot iPads, and customer devices in the cabin could be connected. In fact, you can only have one device at a time be linked to the GPS. The box states "supports multiple devices". What it means is that many different devices are supported by the GPS, but you can only use one at a time. So if you are in a biz aircraft, with a crew compliment of iPads, and a customer with an iPhone in the back, you have to pick which device will be connected. In our case, one iPad was connected, and everyone else suffered.

Dual GPS adequate by Val from Santaquin Ut USA
Pros: Consistent tracking everywhere Cons: Limited information Review: The GPS does a very good job of tracking location and has a very good battery life. However, I was under the impression when I purchased it that it would also provide some weather updates. I use it with my 3G -wifi IPad 2. My iipad tracks almost as well the GPS does, even when the 3G is turned off. When my 3G is on and am within range of a Cell tower, I get far better information.

Pros: Good signal sensitivity, good bluetooth range. Cons: Battery % reading on iPad app may be pessimistic. Review: Excellent unit, receives gps signals well even inside my steel hangar. Size is wonderfully small. I use it with my iPad, using app from Dual to provide interface. Works great with gps receiver in back window of my C-182 and iPad in front seat. The app is helpful, it shows satellites and signal strengths in great detail. It also shows battery life in %. At first the battery life seemed short based on the % reading, but as I ran the battery down it held on longer than I expected based on early battery power readings. Seems like it will be OK for 4-5 hour flights. Sure hope the gov't doesn't take our gps signals away in favor of broadband internet!

good addition to my flight bag by girlpilot from Saint Louis MO USA
Pros: WiFi, can be used with any suitable Bluetooth compatible device, small size, cigarette lighter adapter for charging the unit Cons: Haven't found any yet! Review: I'm old fashioned - still find my way around the sky with charts, VORs and NDBs. However I did buy a Flight Guide subscription for my iPAD and since I can use it for flight planning as well, I thought a compatible GPS receiver would be useful. I don't have moving map capability, but it's not hard to find the plane on the seamless sectional. I can see that it would be quite useful if i needed to make an unscheduled fuel stop, or find the nearest airport in an emergency. I like the Bluetooth WiFi because the receiver can be placed where it gets the best signal while the iPad can be used by anyone in the aircraft.

I was a little worried about bluetooth connectivity instead of a hard-wired connection, but I can maintain a connection from more than 10 feet away. Use in the cockpit is easy and reliable.

Review: Gets a satellite lock much faster than my "other brand" GPS device, and Bluetooth link to Apple iPad 2 works reliably more than 20 feet away. I was initially disappointed to see it back-ordered, but I shouldn't have been. MyPilotStore sent it via priority mail when it was back in stock, and it arrived on the same day as the rest of my order. No hassle. Good show!
