SkyPro GPS Status Tool

En mi iPhone 15 Pro Max no funciona

I’m impressed with the hardware side of the Dual SkyPro. For the software, there are still a few issues. From an iPhone, one *CAN* change the recording interval. On an iPad, it crashes if you try to change it. (Minor for me, but annoying). There’s not really a switch to toggle data logging on or off. Instead, one uses a switch called “Always record position when turned on” YES/NO. So it’s not just setting the default, it is, in effect, a toggle. It’s a little confusing. (Minor issue). GPS lock seems good even when flying at Mach .85 across the ocean and as well as from inside my own home. So no issues with basic positioning, which tells me that it’s a pretty decent receiver. Nice feature is that it can broadcast Bluetooth GPS to multiple people (pilots on same crew for example) so that all iPads will have a good position. Other than these minor issues, the XGPS160 is just fine!

Was wondering does it work on apple and google maps or the device is able to just connect to those apple and android products?

I bought the XGPS150 to link with my iPad Pro 10.5. It worked great for a few years, then would not link to its own APP. IN FRUSTRATION, I downloaded the Owner’s Manual. While reading I came across the Mode Switch part, about choosing between Android and iOS. Looking at mine, the switch was set for iOS. But, I moved it to Android position and back to iOS position. EUREKA! It connects to the APP again. Okay, I love it again.

The app barely functions. Expect to go up to 1/2 hour to pair with the receiver. B/T looks forever and most of the time never finds the unit.

Upgraded the firmware to 4.2.4 and nothing works anymore. Piece of garbage.

Works with my iPad pro but not iPhone 12.

I am recommending the Dual Electronics 150 or 160 to a friend since I have both. Purchased the 150 probably 7 years ago and it works great with the app for off-roading. Decided to get the 160 model 2 years ago so I could connect to both my iPad and iPhone via Bluetooth at the same time. I use this strictly with off-roading apps like Gaia here in the southwest and have been very happy with it.

I connected to my iPad with no problem but the app didn’t recognize the device. You must read the directions and toggle the switch by the charge port…once I did that viola, the app and GPS worked fine. Will update after more use but so far it connects to multiple satellites and seems to do the trick.

Bought the XGPS160 for data-logging a few months ago and it doesn’t work. I called the company and they said they were working on a fix….4 months later, no fix. Steer clear of this GPS and software.
