So, using the Garmin Glo is pretty simple but what about pairing the Glo to your smart device? Well, depending on if you are using an Apple or Android device is process is slightly different so below you’ll find how to connect to both devices. This is often confused for a faulty battery/system error warning even though the device is working normally. For example, if you’re using the GPS while it’s charging, the LED light will appear as if it is alternating orange and green. While the inclusion of the LED light is helpful, it can be somewhat confusing.
There’s the Bluetooth LED which lets you know if the Glo is connected to your device and a Status LED which will let you know battery charge and GPS fix. The Garmin Glo also comes with a couple of LED lights to let you know the state of the Glo. This is another shortcoming of the Glo, as the ability to connect through USB as well as Bluetooth would have made the Glo a bit more versatile. The USB port on the Glo is only used for charging and does not transfer any data. Unfortunately, when it comes to connecting the Glo to your smart device, you can only do so through the Bluetooth connection. With a cold start of 60 seconds, the Glo is able to find your location fresh out of the box in under a minute. Once connected to your mobile device, all you have to do is make sure the Glo has a clear view of the sky, and it’ll find the satellites. *As a note here the Garmin Glo 2 has been released but in terms of software functionality it operates the exact same way as the original Garmin Glo How to use the Garmin Glo and Garmin Glo 2 While this won’t affect the vast majority of users, it may deter you if you are looking to use the receiver in a professional setting. Another potential shortcoming is that the Garmin Glo doesn’t save any GPS data internally. Which is impressive when you consider the size of the device, but it does mean that for longer trips you will need to make sure you have a separate power source to charge the Glo. The only potential shortcoming is the 12-hour battery life. With dimensions just 8cm long and 4cm wide, the Garmin Glo can fit anywhere from the inside of your pocket to the dash of your car. Weighing in at only 60 grams, the Garmin Glo’s compact form-factor makes it the perfect travelling companion. On top of this, this Bluetooth GPS is able to connect and transmit this to four different devices all at the same time. This makes the Garmin Glo far more accurate than the standard GPS receiver that comes with most modern phones and tablets.

So, what makes the Garmin Glo such a handy piece of tech? Well, with access to both the GPS and GLONASS satellites, this device is able to connect to up to 24 more satellites than a standard GPS device and will update your position 10 times per second.
