Getting WIN 8/10 Tablet to work on Skydemon using internal GPS
Having spent months trying to make this work on my Toshiba Encore, finally managed it…
Need to download a com port emulator that will convert the built in tablet GPS signal into one that comes from a COM port, so that Skydemon can see the feed.

It cost me US$15 to get this.
If you're interested the attached may be of use.

Hi,
I have similar problem with Dual XGPS160. I am using SD PC and Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga. The bluetooth pairing seems to be OK, I can see serial ports in Bluetooth control panel, but in SD in the GPS Navigation options the same ports appear with some wrong characters, which appear to be random. Sometimes they are eg. chinese like in the example below.
If I remove the wrong characters and click start GPS, SD tries to connect the GPS. The bluetooth led becames blue, as it should, but after few seconds SD says the connection to GPS has been lost. If I try again, SD says the connection to this serial port is prohibited. Furthermore, if I disconnect the bluetooth paring SD crashes - always.
I also tried the Localizer, but I now understand it is only if you have an internal GPS.
Anyone having a fix to this problem? I have been using a GPS with an USB connection so far, and there has been no problem with serial ports.
