Review on 🌐 Enhance GPS Connectivity with Dual Electronics XGPS160: Multipurpose Universal 5 Device Bluetooth Receiver featuring Wide Area Augmentation System and Portable Attachment by Raymond Iglesias

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Another Bluetooth GPS with Windows and Android support as an afterthought

I bought 3 of these GPS devices but I will not buy more because it took forever to get updates on this device without an IOS device. Even the Android app for the device is not enough. After updating the GPS using the installer on Windows 10 first and then using the Android app (I couldn't update using the Android app at first as I think they had very old firmware), I was able to use GPS quickly find a good solution and GLONASS. Accuracy was within 5m compared to satellite image markers. I had to download GpsGateClient on Windows 10 to allow QGIS to communicate with this GPS via bluetooth. When I use a USB connection, QGIS had no problem. However, other Bluetooth GPSs in the same price range are no better. None of them, from Bad Elf to Xt and before (I've bought and tried many over the past 3 years) have an easy Windows and Android experience.
