Filing Flight Plan
I have had my GLO for several years starting with a laptop then moving to an Android tablet for use in my 4wd. We went to the mountains and used a topo map by Delorme and I really liked how well the GLO worked for that. So now I have been using it with a Galaxy Tab E running Fltplan Go for aviation and Maps.me for off line road map use.
Today I was testing concurrent connections and was pleased that I could connect directly to Fltplan using the external tab, selecting Garmin, and then pairing with the GLO. That connects the GLO directly to Fltplan as an external ADSB (with no ADSB functions) GPS. This also overrides the internal GPS if present.
Then I paired a spare iPhone to the GLO and used Google maps on it.
I also paired my Galaxy S8 phone but used Bluetooth GPS app to be the mock GPS provider. Using that app I set Fltplan Go to use the internal Android GPS. Bluetooth GPS takes over control of the GPS and substitutes the external GPS as the source for other apps. I like the Bluetooth GPS app because it has a status of all the GPS information, a map and bar graph of all the satellites, and you can view the actual NEMA data stream as well as capture it to a log.
Anyway, it is really versatile and can run at least three concurrent connections using three different methods. Yes, I am an addicted map geek and sit and play with my GPS toys.
Anyone else using the GLO as a primary GPS source?
