Group: Forum Members Posts: 152, Visits: 352	How can I see that SkyDemon uses Garmin GLO instead of Ipad internal GPS? Furthermore do anyone know if the Ipad also uses Glonass and then should be as precise as Garmin GLO? /Martin Edited 3/17/2016 9:06:26 AM by Martin Bech

I did not have to configure anything for that to work. Would it be possible for SkyDemon to show that it is using the GLO, but not necessarily the battery status?
