Hi there, I use SD on my iPad with a DUAL XGPS150 Bluetooth GPS sensor.

Since the last iPad iOS SW update this week (now on iOS 8.3) this problem seems to have arisen...

When I tell SD to "Go Flying" it initially picks up the location OK but within 30 seconds it seems to disconnect from the GPS and the dreaded "Waiting for Location Data" message comes up.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Andy

Unfortunately you're probably running into a bug in iOS 8.3 concerning external GPS receivers. More information below; sadly there is nothing we can do about this from our end. All apps that use GPS data are affected.

                         Apple are still signing iOS 8.2, so for anyone still having this...
