One review indicates GPS directions would NOT be sent to the devise via bluetooth. Is this true? What about local radio station streaming on web?

Unfortunately, this item does not work in that manner. I use my phone to listen to spotify and satellite radio. When I get a call, I have to remove the aux jack in order to take the call on the bluetooth. Same for GPS. It will only work through the aux jack.

I think it only works with Apple products. Judging by the images, even if it works with any bluetooth capable devise, there's till an app interface you need. I just ordered one for for my nephew, so can't say for sure, but I was reading the specs over at Best Buy and one of the bullets clearly says: Bluetooth technology Lets you control the R/C car from your Apple device.

The GNS 5870 GPS receiver works over bluetooth with any wifi only ipad and others also. You can use it with any navigation app of which there are dozens. Also Navionics charts. I have also used Navigon and Igo for road navigation. Plus google maps, open street maps, Galileo etc.

I use Google play music and it works fine. Any music that you can play through your phone where you can change tracks should work through bluetooth. I would check with the app people to see if they support bluetooth connections if you're unsure.

It works great on a Wi-Fi only iPad. I'm not familiar withWaze navigation I use motion X and it works great. It should work on any GPS app.

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.

sometimes it helps if you connect your gps to the internet via usb on your computer and visit garmin.com.they have this utility called: webupdater.i've upgraded mine to 265WT because i need the USB. hands down to garmin, i have no problem with this device (only minor glitch, such as bluetooth sound sometimes disappears). good luck.

The app says it's connecting via Bluetooth LE. Should work fine. I use mapmyride with no problems.

It does not feature bluetooth or GPS. It is limited to Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, which only transmits in 2.4 GHz networks

No expert on this, but from what I've done it may be a two step/part process, one hardware, i.e. Bluetooth, the 2nd a software helper app to let your Android device shake hands with and incorporate the Bluetooth connection with the software you're running. In my case, in the Android "Play Store" found downloaded and installed "Bluetooth GPS Provider" - I believe there may also be at least one more similar connection app. The connection app then makes the link up between the GPS data from the DUAL XGPS160 hardware and whatever app, e.g. Harry's Laptimer etc. you are running on the Android device.

Yeah, the one I got was not for the devise. I never looked to find a user manual. My kids found how to make it work

You cable sync to the website as usual, when you start the app, it grabs the data off the website. So you can review past performance, but not current. And only overview same as Console, but not the details. And no, there is no Bluetooth transmission from the non-BW unit to tap into. Nor anyway to enable it. Unless the chipset/radio is in there to do it, and someone found a program hack for enabling it. And of course past performance is no indicator of future performance - oh wait, wrong topic.

Hi Ester. That's the main reason I bought it. Wifi assisted gps on the ipad doesn't work in most places in our country and definately not off shore. This tiny little bad elf is brilliant. One thing you do need to be wary of though ... make sure the gps remains firmly plugged in. I had someone on the helm for a while and she knocked the gps inadvertanly and went for half an hour not noticing that the arrow in the gps wasn't moving.

Simple answer is no. However I have my iphone connected over Bluetooth and w my iphone I simply use google maps. Google maps hen "talks" to me through hthe cars audio speakers. It's basically the same as having in dash GPS

Yes, the connection from the iPod to the GPS receiver uses Bluetooth. It is not dependent on WiFi nor cellular connections.

Just a quick question. Can you stream music from a Android phone or iphone4 to this GPS?? Is this possible? I was able to connect my Android phone to this GPS but I haven't figure out how to stream music from my phone to the GPS. Anyone has successfully done that? Thanks!
