Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the XGPS160 SkyPro™
Bluetooth®GPS Receiver from Dual Electronics.
The XGPS160 works with signals from both US
and Russian satellite systems to determine your
location anywhere in the world. It then can transmit
your location information to many kinds of devices
which have Bluetooth connectivity and support the
Bluetooth Serial Port Prole (SPP). This includes:
• the iPad® (generations 1 through 4)
• the iPad mini® (generation 1)
• the iPod touch® (generations 2 through 5)
• the iPhone® (generations 2 through 5)
You can also connect the XGPS160 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 XGPS160. See Pair-
ing with your device for more information.

Setup
To setup the XGPS160 with your device, you will
need to do two things:
• Power on the XGPS160.
• Pair the XGPS160 with the device you will be
using.
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 XGPS160 with a new device, and
XGPS160
6
the XGPS160 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 XGPS160 with the iPod touch, iPad
or iPhone
(NOTE: these instructions were written using iOS
version 6.1 and may be different if you are using a
different version of the iPhone OS.)
• On the iPad/iPod touch/iPhone, go to:
Settings->Bluetooth
and turn on Bluetooth. The iOS device will auto-
matically begin looking for the XGPS160.
• Turn on the XGPS160. The blue Bluetooth
status light on the XGPS160 will begin to blink
slowly (about once per second).
• After a few seconds, the XGPS160 will appear
as XGPS160-xxxxxx in the list of devices on
the touch/iPad/iPhone screen. (The last 6 digits
are part of the XGPS160 serial number and
will be different for each unit.) The word Misc
may also appear for a few moments before
XGPS160-xxxxxx appears.
• Tap XGPS160-xxxxxx in the list of devices to
connect to it. The words “Not Paired” will disap-
pear and be replaced by the spinning cursor.

Pairing with your device
• After approximately 10 seconds, the
XGPS160-xxxxxx name in the device list will
change to blue text and the word Connected
will appear. The blue LED on the XGPS160 will
blink rapidly for a few seconds and then stay
illuminated, conrming the two devices have
successfully paired and are communicating.
Pairing the XGPS160 with an Android device
(NOTE: these instructions were written using An-
droid OS version 4.1 and may be different if you
are using a different version of the Android OS.)
• Turn on the XGPS160. The blue Bluetooth
status light on the XGPS160 will begin to blink
slowly (about once per second).
• On the Android device go to:
Settings->Developer Options
and enable the option for Allow mock loca-
tions. This will let the Android device use GPS
information from an external device like the
XGPS160.
• On the Android device go to:
Settings->Wireless & networks
and turn on Bluetooth.
• On the Android device go to
XGPS160
8
Settings->Wireless & networks->
Bluetooth settings
and select Scan for devices.
• After a few seconds, the word XGPS160-
xxxxxx will appear in the list of devices. (Note:
the last 6 digits are part of the XGPS160 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 XGPS160 will continue to blink slowly.
• In order for GPS-enabled apps to use infor-
mation from an external GPS, you will need to
install a helper app on your Android device. This
helper app runs in the background and will let
apps communicate with the XGPS160. Several
helper apps are available, and we recommend
using one of two free apps: Bluetooth GPS
from GGMoblab or Bluetooth GPS Provider
from MOBILE-J.DE.

steps above in Pairing the XGPS160 with an
Android device.

“Use Insecure Connection” and “Reconnect”
options.
Your Android device will connect to the
XGPS160 and begin streaming location data
to apps on your device. The blue Bluetooth
indicator on the XGPS160 will illuminate without
blinking.
Using the Bluetooth GPS Provider helper app
with the XGPS160
• Please make sure you have completed the
steps above in Pairing the XGPS160 with an
Android device.
