Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the XGPS150 Universal
Bluetooth®GPS Receiver from Dual Electronics.
The XGPS150 works with signals from GPS satel-
lites to determine your location anywhere in the
world. It then can transmit your location informa-
tion to many kinds of devices which have Blue-
tooth connectivity and support the Bluetooth Serial
Port Prole (SPP). This includes:
• the iPhone® (generations 2 through 4)
• the iPod touch® (generations 2 through 4)
• the rst generation of the iPad®
You can also connect the XGPS150 to many An-
droid®, Windows®or Blackberry®smart phones
and tablets, as well as to notebook computers run-
ning Windows or OS X.
NOTE: Not all manufacturers include SPP in their
devices, even if the device has Bluetooth. Please
consult the owner’s manual for your specic de-
vice to determine whether it supports SPP. Some
devices, like Android-based devices, may need a
helper app to connect to the XGPS150. See Pair-
ing with your device for more information.

Setup
The XGPS150 is very simple to use. There is a
one-time setup process to connect it to your iPad,
iPod, smart phone, tablet or laptop computer.
Once this setup process is completed, simply turn
on the XGPS150 to begin using it.
To setup the XGPS150 with your device, you will
need to do two things:
• Set the mode switch on the XGPS150 for the
type of device you will be using.
• Pair the XGPS150 with the device you will be
using.
Setting the mode switch
With the tip of a ne ballpoint pen, move the mode
switch to the proper position:
• If you are using the XGPS150 with an iPad,
iPod touch or iPhone slide the switch right,
away from the USB connector.
• To use the XGPS150 with an Android, Win-
dows or Blackberry smart phone, laptop com-
puter or tablet, move the mode switch to the left,
towards the USB connector.

Pairing with your device
Pairing is the process connecting two devices over
Bluetooth and allowing them to communicate. You
will need to go through the pairing process each
time you use the XGPS150 with a new device, and
the XGPS150 will automatically try to reconnect to
the last device it was paired with.
NOTE: If your device requires a code to connect
during the pairing process, use “0000” or “1234”.
Pairing the XGPS150 with the iPod touch, iPad
or iPhone
(NOTE: these instructions were written using iOS
version 4.1 and may be different if you are using a
different version of the iPhone OS.)
• Make sure the mode switch on the XGPS150
is set correctly for your device (see Setup).
• On the touch/iPad/iPhone device, go to:
Settings->General->Bluetooth
and turn on Bluetooth. The device will automati-
cally begin looking for the XGPS150.
• Turn on the XGPS150. The blue Bluetooth
status light on the XGPS150 will begin to blink
slowly (about once per second).
• After a few seconds, the XGPS150 will appear
as XGPS150-xxxxxx in the list of devices on
the touch/iPad/iPhone screen. (The last 6 digits
XGPS150
8
are part of the XGPS150 serial number and
will be different for each unit.) The word Misc
may also appear for a few moments before
XGPS150-xxxxxx appears.
• Tap XGPS150-xxxxxx in the list of devices to
connect to it. The words “Not Paired” will disap-
pear and be replaced by the spinning cursor.
• After approximately 10 seconds, the
XGPS150-xxxxxx name in the device list will
change to blue text and the word Connected
will appear. The blue LED on the XGPS150 will
blink rapidly for a few seconds and then stay
illuminated, conrming the two devices have
successfully paired and are communicating.
Pairing the XGPS150 with an Android device
(NOTE: these instructions were written using An-
droid OS version 2.1 and may be different if you
are using a different version of the Android OS.)
• Make sure the mode switch on the XGPS150
is set correctly for your device (see Setup).
• Turn on the XGPS150. The blue Bluetooth
status light on the XGPS150 will begin to blink
slowly (about once per second).
• On the Android device go to:
Settings->Applications->Development
and enable the option for Allow mock loca-
tions. This will let the Android device use GPS
XGPS150

information from an external device like the
XGPS150.
• On the Android device go to:
Settings->Wireless & networks
and turn on Bluetooth.
• On the Android device go to
Settings->Wireless & networks->
Bluetooth settings
and select Scan for devices.
• After a few seconds, the word XGPS150-
xxxxxx will appear in the list of devices. (Note:
the last 6 digits are part of the XGPS150 serial
number and will vary from device to device.) At
this point, the Android device may say Paired
but not connected and the blue Bluetooth
indicator XGPS150 will continue to blink slowly.
• In order for GPS-enabled apps to use informa-
tion from an external GPS, you will likely need
to install a helper app on your Android device.
This helper app runs in the background and will
let apps communicate with the XGPS150. Sev-
eral helper apps are available, and we recom-
mend using a free app on the Android Market
called Bluetooth GPS.
Using the Bluetooth GPS helper app with the
XGPS150
• Please make sure you have completed the
XGPS150
10

from the Android Marketplace.
• Open the Bluetooth GPS app and select the
XGPS150 from the pull-down menu on the Main
tab.
• Check the box next to Enable Mock GPS
Provider.
• Tap the Connect button. Your Android device
will connect to the XGPS150 and begin stream-
ing location data to apps on your device. The
blue Bluetooth indicator on the XGPS150 will
illuminate without blinking.
Pairing the XGPS150 with a Blackberry device
(NOTE: these instructions were written using a
Blackberry Storm 9550 and may be different if you
are using a different model of Blackberry smart
phone.)
• Make sure the mode switch on the XGPS150
is set correctly for your device (see Setup).
• Turn on the XGPS150. The blue Bluetooth
light on the XGPS150 will begin to blink slowly
(about once per second).
