  • By David the Yachmaster from United Kingdom on Tuesday, April 21, 2015
  • Pros: Works as it says it should right from the box
  • Cons:
  • Review: I wanted this to improve the location with my mobile chart plotter when I am sailing.

    The beauty of this piece of equipment is that it is easy to use for both IoS and Android devices.

    I particularly like the ability it has to link up to 5 other devices.

  • Pros: Great no brainier
  • Cons: Sometimes you have to deleate it from iPad then reaquire it
  • Review: I turn it on and in seconds it's working, all the iPhones iPads work great. I keep it under my seat and it works all day. Between flights it just sits there and does its thing. I can be over 100 feet away from the plane and still get a signal

Excellent - Just what I needed

  • By AM Dream from Baltimore MD USA on Thursday, January 08, 2015
  • Pros: Muliple device support
  • Cons: It would be nice to have a support program/app tool for a MS laptop
  • Review: Just what I needed. I was looking for a multi device support GPS to back up my main boat GPS and chart plotter and plan and track routes on a tablet or laptop. Now I have the best of both worlds without draining my mobile device batteries for an entire day on the water.

Worth every cent

  • By Miguel from Dayton OH USA on Monday, September 28, 2015
  • Review: I am very impressed with this product and is certainly very much worth the value that I paid. I especially like the fact that there are other satellites that provide additional feed to the positioning. They also serve as a great backup in case the primary satellites are not available

All promises kept

  • By Sebastien from Geneve GE Switzerland on Wednesday, September 23, 2015
  • Pros: Quick acquisition, good signal, multi connection

    Convenient multi connection ability.
    A good buy.

Fastest, strongest GPS antenna

  • By Henry from Huntsville TX USA on Friday, August 30, 2013
  • Pros: Fast, sensitive
  • Cons: No dedicated app -yet
  • Review: Though Dual has not released the 160 app by the end of August, 2013, who cares? The XGPS150 app works fine.

    This antenna finds itself inside a room behind blinds within seconds. I will try it in narrow European streets later, but this is impressive.

    This may be the best GPS antenna ever.

Very good product and provides excellent training data on IPad

  • By Michael from Bloomington IN USA on Wednesday, October 02, 2013
  • Pros: Works great and has great battery life.
  • Cons: N/A
  • Review: Being a student pilot and having soloed this helped myself and my instructor to provide review with errors when training. Also is a great tool to use for my IPad in unison with Fore Flight. Glad I purchased it and great tool. This GPS has also been beneficial so more than one IPad can record data providing others with data giving several opinions and reviews.

So far, so good.

  • By Mike from Dublin CA USA on Tuesday, September 24, 2013
  • Pros: Accepts multiple users. Stable operation.
  • Cons: None so far, unless not being able to view satellites is a factor.
  • Review: Used as GPS for iPads running Jepessen FD. Accepts multiple Bluetooth users, which solves the problem of sorting who is using which GPS. Does not require opening Dual app to use, but unlike our previous XL150 versions, does not seem to offer view of satellites being used. Hopefully, this model will prove more reliable than previous models, with which we've experienced 40% failure rate. Performance so far has been very stable.

Dependable

  • By Bear from Thailand on Tuesday, February 23, 2021
  • Pros: Small and light. Rubber base will not slide on most level surfaces.
  • Cons: Status LED’s a little bright for night flight, but just flipping the unit upside down at night works fine. I personally would like the battery to last long for flights (14hours) but we keep it plugged into a usb charger at all times.
  • Review: Used this unit for years until smashed by maintenance somehow. Flew all over the world for years and no complaints. Just here now to buy a replacement.
