I have a Android smartphone and a 7" Android tablet that have built-in GPS. They work but take a long time to acquire satellite signals. I wanted a decent road navigation GPS and discovered that different companies make dedicated GPS receivers that communicate via Bluetooth to your phone or tablet. I did a web search for them and ran across this Tomtom unit for $22.99 and free shipping. Tomtom is one of the big names in GPS and for $23 how could I go wrong? If it didn't work with my phone I wouldn't be out that much money. Well I am pleased to say that it works with my phone quite well. It was easy to pair with the phone and the GPS app I tried connected with it seamlessly. I am a happy camper.

This Tom Tom GPS unit may have been useful originally, but now, supplied with no relevant software, it is useless. The software was supported by Tom Tom at first, but this product is now disowned by them and the Bluetooth SPP software is not available anywhere else that I can find. The item was delivered with no covering paperwork or advice as to its use. The TomTom Mk2 wireless Bluetooth in its form as delivered is of no value; if the seller can provide software it would be least they could do. I feel cheated!

I use this on a Asus TF 101 Tablet running lolliepop 5.1. This tablet is known for unusable GPS with the stock antenna. I connected and paired to this via BT to the tablet. Downloaded a BT GPS app ( Anyone will do, just has to make a bridge for GPS BT. I used first one in google play store) Fire up the BT app then my map app ( I use Waze) and it instantly locked on to sattlites and started working. With out this addaptor Waze would not work, It kept saying no GPS found. I also tried it on my Samsung S5 and it worked great on there too.

Though some tablets have built-in GPS receivers they have a shortcoming when not used in the open. That's where the GPS receiver with bluethooth comes in handy. The receiver can be placed in a good spot and delivers a solid signal. The device comes with a chargers for the internal battery, one for 110V and one for 12V. An LED shows the charging status, i.e. the LED is on until the battery is fully charged. A second LED shows the bluetooth connection by blinking. Pairing and connecting the device is quick and easy and it takes no more than a minute. On the Android tablet I use a GPS to Bluetooth app that serves the data to any app that needs them. The app also shows the satellite status. The GPS receiver is switched on with a push button. There is no indication on how much battery charge is left. My tests, very simply done, show the battery can last for several hours though not for a whole day. In conclusion, I am quite satisfied with the receiver, it came fast, the price was good, and I recommend the device.Read full review

If you have an ipad buy another gps. this gps does not work with an ipad. you have to do a risky break into the ios system to make it work. It is possible when you break into the ios system that it will ruin your ipad and is NOT repairable. Not fixable. I am not going to try messing up a $500 dollar Ipad to use a 40 dollar gps. I have not tried it with my Windows computer. it may work, I hope so, otherwise it is a waste of money.
