Garmin GLO for Aviation

Fly with the portable device of your choice and Garmin-caliber GPS data at the same time. GLO for Aviation brings you the most productive of both worlds by combining GPS/GLONASS receivers with Bluetooth® technology so you’ll be able to get precise position information on your iPad, iPhone or Android device.

GLO for Aviation can receive position information from both the GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations, allowing it to hook up with up to 24 more satellites than devices that rely on GPS on my own. This allows GLO to lock on to satellites approximately 20% faster and stay alongside of even the most demanding jet speeds. What’s more, GLO updates its position information 10x per second – up to 10x more frequently than the GPS receivers in many mobile devices. When you get entry to geo-referenced charts, Garmin SafeTaxi or the moving map display in Garmin Pilot (6 months of which come free with your GLO purchase), you can know that what you see is the most precise picture imaginable.

The usage of Bluetooth® technology, GLO for Aviation wirelessly pairs to your mobile device. Just use the included mount to set GLO on your glare screen and within moments, you can be receiving GLO’s position data. The device features up to 12 hours of battery life to keep your position on even the longest of flights, and charging GLO between uses is a cinch with the included USB cable or 12/24 Volt cigarette lighter adapter.
