For the most consistent fix, place it where it has a clear view of the sky; the status LED turns solid green when it has a satellite fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eGLO 2 shares GPS position over Bluetooth, so it works best with devices and apps that can accept an external Bluetooth GPS feed. Because it is a portable receiver, it is typically placed near the windshield, under a clear hatch, or on a dash surface with a clean sky view, rather than being wired into a helm network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a practical match for WiFi-only tablets used as charting displays, and for boats where the helm station sits under a hardtop or inside a pilothouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003ePower and charging\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe battery charges in about three hours through the mini-USB port, and you can run the receiver while it is plugged in. Onboard, that usually means powering it from a USB outlet, a USB battery pack, or a 12 V outlet using the included vehicle power cable where that style of connection is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis receiver is a good fit for skippers navigating on a tablet, anglers running phone-based charting, and anyone who wants a compact backup GPS that can move between boats without a permanent install.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Device Only","offer_id":52271039447221,"sku":"QBP420346-V1","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Aviation Bundle","offer_id":52271039479989,"sku":"QBP420346-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1306819_qbp420346.jpg?v=1771552568","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp420346","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
