Garmin GLO 2 — Professional GPS and GLONASS Receiver for Your Mobile Device

Your smartphone is smart — but its built-in GPS often falls short in challenging conditions. The Garmin GLO 2 solves this problem by giving your mobile device Garmin-caliber GPS accuracy through a compact Bluetooth receiver. As a result, you get precise, fast, and reliable position data on the device you already carry — whether that is an iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone.

📡 Dual Satellite Reception — GPS and GLONASS Combined

First and foremost, the GLO 2 stands apart because it uses both GPS and GLONASS satellite systems at the same time. Most mobile devices only use GPS alone. The GLO 2, however, connects to both constellations, which means it can access up to 24 more satellites than a GPS-only device. Because of this, you get:

• A much stronger and more reliable satellite lock
• Better performance in cities, forests, and valleys
• Consistent accuracy even when buildings or trees block part of the sky
• Faster positioning in open and covered areas alike

In short, you get the kind of satellite coverage that professionals depend on — now available for your everyday mobile device.

⚡ Locks On 20% Faster Than GPS-Only Devices

Speed matters when you are navigating. The GLO 2 locks on to satellites approximately 20% faster than devices that rely on GPS alone. So instead of waiting for your map app to find your position, the GLO 2 gets you moving quickly. Moreover, it stays connected even at high speeds — making it ideal for use in vehicles, aircraft, and boats where a steady lock is critical.

🔄 10 Position Updates Per Second

This is where the Garmin GLO 2 truly outperforms the competition. It updates your position 10 times every second — that is up to 10 times more frequently than the GPS receivers built into most smartphones. As a result, your location on the map moves smoothly and accurately at all times. Therefore, whether you are hiking a trail, flying a route, or driving through unfamiliar streets, your position is always current and precise.

📱 Works with iPhone, iPad, and Android

The GLO 2 connects to your device wirelessly via Bluetooth, so setup is quick and simple. In addition, it works with a wide range of navigation and mapping apps, including:

• Apple Maps and Google Maps
• Aviation and flight planning apps
• Marine navigation software
• Outdoor and hiking apps
• Any app that uses your device’s location services

Because it connects over Bluetooth, you do not need any cables or adapters. Simply pair it once, and it works automatically every time you turn it on.

🌍 Perfect for a Wide Range of Users

The Garmin GLO 2 fits into many different lifestyles and professions. Here is who benefits most from it:
