Overview

The XGPS150 is very simple to use. There is a quick set up process that includes pairing your device with the Receiver. Once this is done, the Receiver will automatically connect to the device it was last paired with, and you will be able to use it with hundreds of apps that require location information.

The XGPS150 also comes with a useful GPS Status Tool App (available free on the iTunes store, not required for the device to work). The App is a simple utility application for use with the XGPS150. It shows detailed information from the XGPS150 including:
  • Your location (or whether the device is still determining where you are)
  • How many satellites the device sees and the signal strength of each satellite
  • The battery level of the XGPS150, and whether or not it is charging
  • Confirmation the XGPS150 is successfully connected to your iPad/iPod touch/iPhone


Note: The Dual XGPS models 150, 160 and 170 are currently experiencing compatibility issues with Apple software update IOS 8.3. According to Dual, the XGPS does still work with some iOS EFB apps, including WingX and iFlyGPS. However, Foreflight and FlyQ are not currently compatible. If you are currently using one of these devices, we recommend waiting for iOS 8.4 before updating your device. If you plan on purchasing the XGPS and you are using IOS 8.3, we recommend waiting until IOS 8.4 is released.

Simply slide the Receiver into the pad to secure it, making sure that the lip of the pad seals over the top edges of the Receiver. The XGPS150 is not waterproof, but it will withstand light splashes when it is seated properly in the non-slip pad.

Running ForeFlight on my IPad mini3 from wifi connection to my IPhone had tracking and location problems in flight. This product solved it and works very well. Battery only last about 4.5hrs and needs to be removed from its case to be charged, this system could be cleaned up and I would give it 5 stars

Q: Will this work on 2 devices at the same time (iPad and iPad mini)? Will this work with my Jeppesen Flight Deck App?

The manufacture lists what devices this can work with but does not say it can connect to multiple devices at the same time. It should work with the Jepp app as it will give apps GPS via Bluetooth.

Yes, the part number listed on this page is ordered from the manufacturer under model # XGPS150A.

Q: I have the first version of mini iPad OS 8.3 coupled with XGPS150A. After upgrade iPad did not work ! Foreflight tells me Apple has to release a fix. Apple store tells me Dual has to update. Will my GPS be obsolete, or is there a chance problem will be fixed?
