It works much better than I had expected. I have an older WiFi only iPad Mini (1st generation) running ios 9.3.5 that I wanted to use for navigation but as you all know, WiFi only ipads do not have built-in GPS. As soon as my iPad mini connected to the Dual XGPS105A via Bluetooth (which was painless btw), it asked to download the accompanying app. The app is very useful. It tells you how many satellites you are connected to, the satellite numbers, the signal strength, position information, position confidence readouts, and the battery status.
I turned it on in the house because I couldn’t wait but to my surprise I was able to connect to 10+ satellites with ease. Like many other GPS devices, I thought I would have to go outside. With the GPS locked and loaded, I proceeded to test out Google Maps and Waze. Both worked flawlessly. Even my NOAA weather radar map is now location enabled. Awesome.
I have taken it down the road a few times now, about 100 miles total, without issue but I will update this review once I have a longer road trip under my belt. I was really not expecting Google Maps to work because I never seen it mentioned as a supported app in any of the forums or reviews. This thing is golden. I can't wait to try it against other devices, like a newer ipad, windows tablet, android device, and some surveying equipment. I will report back, but so far so good. -

I purchased this about 3 weeks ago and I finally got the opportunity to test it out on a solo cross country. I am a student Pilot working on getting all licenses to get into the airlines some day and I very impressed with this product. For its age it still works perfectly and I am using iOS 10.2.1. The accuracy is amazing, up to 5 meters which is roughly 20 feet. As far as the battery life goes, its ideal, fairly average. It is a small device so you can't expect too much. The one draw back I had using it was finding a GPS satellites takes forever sometimes, but hey it's still functional. While I'm starting the engine and getting the weather I'll already have it on ahead of time. -
