IE noguessing if it is on. With the glo you press and hold and hope.2. The iBlue 747 Pro has audio alerts when you turn it on and whenit acquires a position.3. The Glo uses two navigation systems. GPS from the united statesand GloNas from Russia. For this reason the garmin might be a little more accurate. The below was taken from:http://www.spaceandtech.com/spacedata/constellations/glonass_consum.s html The Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) is based on aconstellation of active satellites which continuously transmit coded signals in two frequency bands, which can be received by users anywhere on the Earth's surface to identify their position and velocity in real time based on ranging measurements. The system is a counterpart to the United States Global Positioning System (GPS) and both systems share the same principles in the data transmission and positioning methods. GLONASS is managed for the Russian Federation Government by the Russian Space Forces and the system is operated by the Coordination Scientific Information Center (KNITs) of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.The operational space segment of GLONASS consists of 21 satellites in3 orbital planes, with 3 on-orbit spares. The three orbital planes are separated 120 degrees, and the satellites within the same orbit plane by 45 degrees. Each satellite operates in circular 19,100 km orbits at an inclination angle of 64.8 degrees and each satellite completes an orbit in approximately 11 hours 15 minutes.The ground control segment of GLONASS is entirely located withinformer Soviet Union territory. The Ground Control Center and Time Standards is located in Moscow and the telemetry and tracking stations are in St. Petersburg, Ternopol, Eniseisk, Komsomolsk-na-Amure.The first GLONASS satellites were launched into orbit in 1982. TwoEtalon geodetic satellites were also flown in the 19,100 km GLONASS orbit to fully characterise the gravitational field at the planned altitude and inclination. The original plans called for a complete operational system by 1991, but the deployment of the full constellation of satellites was not completed until late 1995 / early 1996. GLONASS was officially declared operational on September 24, 1993 by a decree of the President of the Russian Federation.On 4/12/2013 9:17 PM, Justin Hull wrote:Hello, I am just curious to know what the difference will be between theglow and the Iblue as I thought they were both great receivers pretty much referring to the Ivloo?Thank you Have a great day.

It won't work withthe PK but apparently with the Apex.It will fit in the same case as the iBlue although the chargingport will be covered. I plan to cut a hole to accommodate this.There are two notches on the Glo which match up with an accessory.I assume it is for putting on the dash of a car but haven't seen it yet.Mike From: gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aaron Linson Sent: Friday, April 12, 2013 10:27 AM To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: Garmin Glo impressions and questions That sounds great, At first, I thought Mike had said that the GLOwouldn't work with the apex. I'm happy to see that it does though. Is there a case you can get for it on amazon or antyhign that will secure it to the braillenote or any where else you'd like to put the reciever? I'm very interested and might replace my Blue with the GLO if I can find a case. If there is no case how are people who are using the GLO traveling with it?Thanks, Aaron Linson IOS and Android Accessibility Advocate Once an Eagle Always an Eagle On Apr 12, 2013, at 11:12 AM, Peter Bosher<peter.bosher@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I've been using the Garmin Glo for a few days, and am generallyvery impressed. It wasn't difficult to pair with the Apex, and so far it is beating the iBlue hands-down for very quick acquisition - it picks up satellites in just a few seconds even indoors or in built up areas. It also seems more reliable in not losing connection with the Apex. Most of all though, its accuracy appears noticeably better, so for example it routinely reports accuracy of seven feet with eighteen satellites. That leads to my questions:Firstly, is it really seeing eighteen, even twenty satellites?Are the additional satellites mentioned in connection with the Garmin Glo giving world-wide coverage, or are there US and UK specific systems?Secondly, I haven't been able to get the GPS-view software to workwith the Glo, but does it even use A-GPS or is that no longer needed? If it does use A-GPS, then is there a way to update it, or again, is that no longer necessary?The only down-side so far with this receiver is the on/off switch,which is a press-and-hold button with no indicator of which state. There are work-arounds for that, and otherwise I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a replacement.Best, Peter -- ******* Peter Bosher, Email: peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.soundlinks.com/ Tel': (+44) (0) 1494 794 797 Fax: (+44) (0) 1494 583 146 snail:// SoundLinks Limited, 43 Broadlands Avenue, Chesham, Bucks.
