Group: Forum Members Posts: 23, Visits: 128	Just an update: I just could not get my xgps150 to provide data to Skydemon even though it was showing on two different position data apps. Eventually gave up and was contemplation buying a Pilotaware device instead. However, next flight and everything worked fine. The only thing I had not done whilst trying to sort this out was reboot the iPad mini. Did that before next flight and, hey presto, everything working again. As the gps was providing data to the iPad but not to skydemon, I suspect that a glitch had got in somewhen that cleared itself by a reboot. Wish I had thought of that during the original flight. Nkt

So of course it gives up and tells you it cannot connect to that device. Please select "none" as you have suggested above. Your Garmin GLO is a standar‌d Bluetooth GPS receiver and you do not need any special settings within SkyDemon to use it. Just press Go Flying and that's it; it will work as long as it's been paired correctly.‌

Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 0	Good question. That is what appears on connections menu page. I only have the Garmin GLO. So GDL90 was what I thought SkyDemon called Garmin GLO. If not, then I have no idea where that came from. Will try and delete it and start over..... thanks.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 206, Visits: 3.2K	+x Thomas Leaver - 6/28/2017 5:06:55 PM Actually, menu states, " use location services" and " GDL90". One must be selected and, if GDL90 selected, menu pops up saying cannot establish connection or words to that effect. Caveat: I don't have a GLO not an iPad. Question‌:‌ why if you have a Garmin GLO which links to the iPad location services are you telling SkyDemon to use a GDL90 device which you don't have?

G Group: Forum Members Posts: 157, Visits: 335	Maybe worth to consider: I had severe EMC problems with a Chinese 12V/24V to 5V-USB plug in adapter. Radio Com was impossible, but I didn't check it with a BT connection, which could have been also disturbed. Changing to a different make solved the problem.
