Hi Kawal/All,
It took me weeks to understand the behaviour of the Glo. It's really
frustrating, but it's such a good receiver that I think it was worth
persevering.
When you connect the charging cable, the receiver powers on, even if
it was switched off. When you disconnect the cable, it stays on, so
you might well turn it off by mistake if you press the power button
at that point.
It's also easy for it to power on by accident, so the simplest way to
use it seems to be to let it charge, then disconnect the cable, and
then power it off, while checking with the iPhone to see whether it's
connected or not. The iPhone usually connects automatically, but
sometimes loses the connection, in which case you need to connect
again in Settings/Bluetooth.
The alternative would be to leave it on charge all the time except
when you use it, though that's not great for the battery. Why
couldn't they just give it a switch?
I hope that helps some.
Best,
Peter

Hello.
I am returning my Glow GPS receiver to Amazon as it stopped
connecting to my I phone 5 S. It would connect if it was on the
mains but if it was turned off and not connected to my phone when I
came to use it once I had checked it was working, it would not
connect to my phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Just
interested. I tried connecting it 8 times this month and only had it
since December. It was fine for a week or two. Very disappointed
with the product.
