Is Garmin GLO (seen in Harry Mendelssohn's and other pilot shops) usable in conjunction with SkyDemon? Can anyone using it let us have their feedback please? Many Thanks.

Does anyone have any data on the altitude accuracy? I am currently using a Lenovo Android tab with Skydemon, and while the relative height is decent using only the builtin GPS, I typically see some pretty bad offsets where the GPS tracks state that I land underground or mid air. :-)

I‌ seem to find any details on altitude accuracy in any spec sheet. :-(

T‌‌hanks!

I am trying ti use SkyDemon and the GLO again...  I never actually used it last time I did a VFR flight.
I now have my own iPad and am trying to set it up again with the GLO
So can some one explain to me what setting needs to be selected in the Connectivity options to connect to the GLO?
There is 
NONE
FLARM
GDL90
PilotAware
Dynin SkyView
X-Plane
but no mention of garmin

In principle it connects when your Ipad finds the GLO. Just uses the Bluetooth connection. I have the IPAD mini 4 and the internal GPS - for the moment - never failed and gives the same results with the GLO and without the GLO. Look at the thread IPAD mini 4 wifi and cellular and GLO

Yep paired with the Bluetooth.
So are you saying that although there is an option to select an external GPS..you don't need to use that option with the External GPS?

In the IPAD there is not an option for an external GPS, if it is paired, it takes it automatically. I checked it with the Garmin application that comes with the GLO aviation. (free for a short period). The IPAD uses the GLO, I assume the signal used by SDemon is the one of the GLO.

The External GPS option is not in the iPad settings, it is in the SkyDemon settings

I just had to do a last minute work flight so took it along with me.

And the external Garmin GLO GPS does seem to work even with the setting in SkyDemon set to ‘None’ in the External GPS setting.
Very confusing but it seems to work.

Must be working from the GLO, because the basic WiFi only iPad does not appear to have built in GPS
