I appreciate there are a number of threads on this subject but none seem to address my problem.

I am using Skydemon on iPad mini with Dual XGPS150E external gps receiver.  I have not had it up in the aircraft yet but have been checking it out in my car.   The Dual app shows a good strong signal with good position data.   However, Skydemon keep putting up a message saying that it is waiting for position data.  Then the position will come back and then drop out again.  Similarly, there is no groundspeed and no heading shown on the screen even when I am doing 60 mph.  Skydemon does correctly say at the top of the screen that I am still on the ground, maybe this is the reason for the other issues.

Is this normal and do I actually have to get airborne for skydemon to work properly?

PS Using V3.2.1.1

As no solution seemed to be forthcoming from Apple in the near future and with there being a bit of a lack of help on this forum from the tech people at Skydemon I went onto the BadElf forum.
There seems to be a bit more discussion there focussed on getting the issue resolved and not just accepting this crap from Apple until such a time as they can be bothered to release 8.4.
Some clever techies have figured out how to roll back the update to V8.2.
So being frustrated at the lack of progress thats exactly what I did and it worked out just fine and now I'm back in business with no issues.

What I would say is before you do this make sure iTunes is up to date and do a backup of all of your data.
In fact I did an iCloud backup of my Skydemon routes and profiles a separate iCloud backup on my iPad3 and a full iTunes backup to my MacBook Pro's hard drive just to be on the safe side.

Click on this link and just follow the instructions. I was pretty worried about doing this kind of thing on an Apple device as its more akin to the kind of procedure you had to carry out on rubbish windows devices to fix various glitches. However it worked out just fine on my Ipad3 with wifi.

Cheers hope this helps & happy flying

James.

Is there any indication when Apple might release 8.4?

Re James fisher post, the option of downgrading to 8.2 was mentioned on this forum about a month ago.

Install the 8.4 beta 3, that solved the external GPS issue for me.

Instructions how to see youtube, also link to the 8.4 beta 3 download is provided in the video.
