What helped was to delete the strange sympol (pls. s. pic com_port_mystic_sign.JPG), so that COM3 was selected successfully. Does anybody know, why SD isn't able to show the com ports correctly? However, although Skydemon is now able to connect to the GPS and also shows that enough Sats are available, I receive the "Seeking GPS Satellites" error (s. attachment). Again, the GPS works fine with all other applications and is able to get a GPS fix within a few seconds.. Any ideas? Edit: ok, as it seems http://www.skydemon.aero/forums/Topic9838.aspx SD is unable to work with the new GNSS receivers - so I won't be able to use SD. Good having tested it before purchase.
