We're using latest version of SkyDemon on an iPad2, with a GNS 5870 and recently a Garmin GLO.

No problem with Bluetooth connection on both GPS units (separately) but we're getting a continual Searching for satellites message on Sky Demon when we 'Go Flying'.

Somewhere I read a routine for rebooting (?) the iPad which seems to cure this problem.

Could anyone please remind us of the details?

It's a permanent fix - once you've done it once, the issue shouldn't reoccur.

If you want to just turn one thing off at a time, the one which seems to make the most difference is 'Automatically Set Time-Zone'


The issue is (I believe) that if you leave those location services on, the iPad uses them the minute it is powered on, and therefore uses the WiFi location data.

If you then subsequently connect the bluetooth device, it simply doesn't get used.

Turning those settings off ensures that your bluetooth has paired before trying to access location data.
