A very good purchase by Jim from Eugene OR USA
Pros: Quick acquisition time Cons: While it has plenty, I still wish it had more battery time Review: This GPS turned out to be the perfect accessory for my iPad using the ForeFlight app. It has functioned flawlessly and the rubber dash mount holder keeps the GPS in place with no problem.

Nice unit, very sensitive by Steve from Tucson AZ USA
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.

AS PROMISED! by David from Jackson MO USA
Pros: Easy bluetooth connection. Better reception and faster refresh rate. Cons: Battery life shorter than the IPAD's Review: I have a IPAD 1 with the built in GPS which worked poorly in the airplane and not that great in the car. The Dual XGPS150 Bluetooth GPS Receiver has greatly improved reception of GPS signals.

Works as Advertised by RittSea from Macungie PA USA
Pros: Bluetooth, Separate battery, Long battery life, Simple to use, Easy to configure. Cons: None known yet. Review: There are few products that work right out of the box with very little instruction and work the way they advertise. But the Dual XGPS150 is such a product. It's very easy to set up and use, and does a few simple things very well.
Plus it's Bluetooth, so you can place it wherever you need it to get the best signal. And you don't have to plug it up to your iPad/iPhone and worry about breaking the connector pin or draining your battery.

I would buy this product again by Ute from Fairbanks AK USA
Review: Works as expected. Excellent choice. I can place the GPS unit where I have the best reception in the cockpit. No need for external antenna. GPS unit works with most GPS programs and/or bluetooth device that need GPS information ( e.g. cameras, hiking, iphone support if you do not have coverage or inside).

I would buy this product again by Thomas from Neenah WI USA
Review: So far so good. I have used it on several trips, battery life is good, no accidental turn off/on. Friction pad perfect for securing unit where placed. Only slight downside is have to remove unit from friction pad to charge. That is very minor.

Love It by Andrew from Vicksburg MI USA
Pros: Very Acurate, Never comes unpluged from iPad becasue its wireless. Cons: have to remove it from antislide pad to plug it into to charge. Review: I love this GPS, sensitity is great works awsome with my iPad.
My only complant is after 8 hours of use when the battery dies there is no warning on the iPad, at least not in Garmin Pilot My Cast, just stays at last position which is confusing when your traveling 150 knots nearing contralled airspace. Be nice to have some kind of warning other then the red light flash whcih can't be seen at day with it on the dash.

works perfectly by James from North Andover MA USA
Pros: High update rate and accuracy, low cost Cons: Yet one more thing to keep charaged or hook up to a USB adaptor Review: It was trivial to get this sync'd up with my WiFi-only iPad, and it quickly produces spot-on GPS location. 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.

by James from North Andover, MA
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!
