I'm a recent user to Skydemon. It has worked perfectly for navigation with my old GPS receiver, an Emtac BTGPS III. No issues at all.

However, I've recently upgraded to a new receiver (here: http://www.gns-gmbh.com/index.php?id=79&L=1). It offers some benefits as it has a faster refresh, support for more constellations than just GPS, and SBAS. And also has a longer battery life.

The new receiver works flawlessly with Memory Map both on my PDA and my laptop, as well as with my Android phone. However, Skydemon will not work with it. When entering Navigation mode, it simply says "Seeking Satellites, 'n' found ('x' out there)". It never gets past that and never gets a fix, even though it often 'finds' as many as 15 or 16 satellites.

Hi,

I got in touch with the producer of the GNS2000 asking them why their GPS receiver does not work properly with Skydemon. From their point of view the reason is that Skydemon is only able to support the 10 years old NMEA 0183 V3.01, instead of the current one. That is why Skydemon is only capable to process talker_ids with “$GP…” of the NMEA data records.

Maybe it would be a good idea that both parties talked to each other…?

Regards

Hi, I too recently bought a GNS2000 receiver to run with my iPAD operating Skydemon navigation (bought mid July). Everything worked fine for the first couple of weeks but now I almost constantly get the "seeking satellites" message.
