Works with my iPad pro
Put it on car charger and when you start a car the GPS Garmin starts in a couple seconds. And iPad connects via Bluetooth automatically. The only thing you may need to do is to connect to your iPhone/android tethering. Battery is almost dead on arrival though. Even when GPS is off battery drains. Battery is cheap though and can be bought on aliexpress . It’s the same battery used in old Nokias.

I have a pixel 6 pro running android 13 and this device will not connect. I also have an old phone running android 11 which will also not connect. I tried updating the firmware per Garmin's instructions and it Sill won't connect.
However, it connects to my iPad just fine. This is not what I wanted to use it with. I'll be returning the unit.
*** Update ***
I contacted Garmin support and they said I need to download a 3rd party GPS app for Android devices. I finally got it connected using an app called GPS Connector. In the app, you can see how many connected GPS and GNSS satellites you're connected to.
To my surprise, when using the Garmin, I was connected to 4 satellites only. I disconnected to compare my internal phones signal and I was connected to 18 satellites!! I've attached some screen shots.
I'm no GPS expert, but wouldn't more connections mean the triangulation would be more accurate? After asking chat GPT, the short answer is yes:
"Yes, a device that is connected to more GPS and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellites generally tends to have greater positioning accuracy compared to a device that is connected to fewer satellites. The accuracy of GPS positioning is improved by receiving signals from a larger number of satellites for several reasons:"
It then goes into detail about several reason why (Multilateration, Error Mitigation, Geometric Dilution of Precision, and Signal Strength and Redundancy).
My recommendation: I would test your phones internal GPS before purchasing this device as it might already have better technology in it. This device may work well for older devices but in my case it was a complete flop.
