• In order for GPS-enabled apps to use informa-
tion from an external GPS like the XGPS150A,
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 XGPS150A. Several free helper apps are
available on the Android Market. Please see
the FAQ section on the Dual website (http://
xgps150.dualav.com/faq.html) for specific rec-
ommendations and installation instructions.
