Hi,
As stated on this list the garmin glow will work with the Apex and Sense
products but it isn't easy.
Because of it being so difficult to get up and running we do not
recommend using the garmin glow for every day users.
I will outline the steps below. Good luck.
Apex:
1. Search for bluetooth devices, pick the garmin glow receiver from the
list and select serial as the service.
2. at the authentication code prompt type 1234 and press enter.
3. go into Navigation and press O, G, B.
System will attempt to connect to the glow and will lock up requiring a
reset. (Note this isn't the fault of the Sendero GPS.
4. reset and go into Navigation again.
You may need to reset again, I can't remember as I'm doing these steps
from memory.
Eventually you will acquire a position.
You will need to do the above steps each time you do a hard reset, IE
4-5-6 reset or your battery dies.
Braille Sense u2 and onhand.
1. Search for bluetooth devices, pick the garmin glow receiver from the
list and select serial as the service.
2. Go into Sense Navigation or Google maps for that matter.
3. Switch to the bt receiver by pressing control-g or backspace-g and
select Bluetooth serial from the list.
4. The sense device will lock up requiring a reset.
5. Reset the sense device.
6. Go back into Sense Navigation. After the maps load you will be
prompted for the pin code type in 1234 at that point and press enter.
7. The sense device will lock up again. so reset.
When you reset and go into Sense Navigation you should be connected to
the garmin glow.
You can go into Google maps and switch to the bt receiver now that the
connection is established.
Again, because of the way you need to connect the garmin glow Sendero
group does not recommend using this receiver with the Apex or Sense
Navigation. The receiver has not been tested with mPower or PK devices
so I have no idea if the above steps will even work for those devices.
Good luck.

Hi there I have the 2013 gps on my apex now and yesterday morning in the
uk things were so slow downloading.
I must say using the pc maps to download makes truly much better.
looking forward to using the software.
I have just acquired the garmin glow mainly for my iphone but will see
if it will work with the apex.
I use buses and trains a good deal and find where the gps receiver is
placed makes a huge difference picking up the sats.
cheers now.

Try redownloading, the slowdown we were experiencing yesterday seems
to have resolved itself.
It is possible you have a bad download.

Hi, guys. I installed the GPS 2013 tonight, but I think a file is
missing from California. I don’t see a California-2013.rmf file,
and all the other states in the west coast region have a
state-2013.rmf file. When I’m asked to choose the map I want to
use, I see Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Key1. How do I fix this? I
used the space with t to go into directory mode, and I also looked at
all files, including hidden files, and it doesn’t seem to be there.
Help!
Peggy
