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.

Since iOS 11 I have constant problems for the navigation apps (not limited to SkyDemon, I also run active subscriptions with 2 other navigation apps, and have them typically all running at the same time) to acknowledge and use the GLO GPS input. I used an iPad Air Wifi, and since recently I have an iPad Pro Wifi (so not inbuilt GPS).

In my case, upgrades to the GLO firmware, and being on the latest iOS sub-release alone didn't help much. Pls note that the problem is there even though the GLO in the iPad Settings/Bluetoogh is showing as "connected". ‌

‌My standard procedure is now (with the GLO running):
‌- Check that SkyDemon shows has GPS fix, as part of pre-flight.
‌- If not, go to iPad Settings/Bluetooth: Switch Bluetooth OFF, then ON again; wait for GLO to pop up again and to show "connected" again.
‌- Then quite SkyDemon, and open SkyDemon again. The navigation app will now invariably have access to GPS data, and show a position fix.

‌Luckily, once the navigation apps "see" the GLO GPS input, it is stable; it doesn't lose GPS in-flight.
