Customer Review
Overall very good
I got this for the 4th Gen iPod Touch. If you have a 4th Gen, you will need to make sure the model you get has their latest 10/10 firmware, or you will need to send the unit back to the manufacture to get it replaced withe a newer one. That process takes 1 to 2 weeks depending on how close you are to Illinois where their warehouse is.I found all the shortcomings are more with Apple's design of the 4th Gen Touch. While the speaker works, the front mic doesn't with any app I've tried. It seems like Apple doesn't support audio input via the dock connector. Also facetime will use neither this nor the speaker on the cradle. I've seen that facetime does not do audio out through the dock connector while other audio functions do. This is kind of a shame because the iPod's built in speaker is often too quiet far facetime chats.The GPS is very accurate most of the time and usually shows me on or a few feet from the lane on the road I'm on.

Better than I expected!
Be sure you know that this model comes without navigation software and it is for an iPod Touch, not an iPhone. The Dual iPod GPS that costs about twice has software.For navigation there is plenty of software that covers boating, driving, hiking and even flying that is all available at the iTunes store. I'm busy learning some of them. In addition to navigation it will help with iPhone applications that want to find nearby restaurants and coffee shops.What makes this item a good deal at $100 is that it also works well as a "protection case" and "battery extender". Separately, those items would cost around $60. Also included are a car cord, windshield mount and wall charger that make it easy to use as a music/audiobook/podcast player in a car.So, what you get is pretty good GPS functionality for about $40. I like it!

GPS
The high-sensitivity GPS receiver is built directly into the cradle (not the windshield mount), giving you GPS capabilities on the iPod touch wherever you go. The GPS receiver provides location information to most any GPS-aware app that requests it, enabling dozens of new uses on the iPod touch.
Rechargeable Battery
The cradle's rechargeable battery can power the GPS receiver for approximately 10 hours of continual operation. You can also use the battery to recharge the iPod, doubling the life of the iPod battery. Charge the cradle's battery via your car's cigarette lighter or the USB port on your computer.
Navigation on iPod touch*
The GPS receiver will work with most any car and boat navigation app available in the App Store, including apps from TomTom, Magellan, and Navigon. A built-in amplified speaker loudly delivers navigation voice prompts. When in a car, you can also easily connect the cradle to your car stereo and play your music and navigation voice prompts through your car speakers.
Secure Docking for Car or Boat
The included windshield mount securely docks the cradle with the iPod and attaches it to the windshield for easy viewing and access. The mount is fully adjustable, including portrait and landscape positions. It has a built-in DC power jack for charging the cradle's battery from the car's cigarette lighter, as well as a 3.5-mm audio out to connect to a car stereo. Ideal for use with car navigation apps as well as marine chart plotter apps.
Easy Charging and Syncing
The cradle features a mini USB port for charging the rechargeable battery and syncing the iPod without having to remove the cradle. Mini USB to USB cable is included.
*Important:
Apps not included. The cradle works with most apps that are available for the iPod touch and do not require a network connection. Navigation apps must have built-in maps. The XGPS251 model does not work with the Dual NavAtlas app. Please visit GPSCradle.dualav.com for more information and to review a list of tested apps.
