If you're having lapses in GPS signal of that length, SkyDemon's behaviour isn't really your problem‌, but we do allow you to stitch together such broken logs with the Merge functionality.

Breaks in GNSS coverage can happen for lots of reasons - usually being upside down in my case, but also sometimes sud to flying north when the aircraft structure blocks the sky view southbound with poor satellite geometry. This occurs less often now that I use a device with GLONASS support as well as GPS, which is fortunate as the loss is often accompanied by a full-screen "cannot connect to the SkyDemon servers" error message which is somewhat distracting.

The‌ merge logs function is definitely useful but it doesn't completely fix the original problem as it refuses to merge some logs together, stating that the gap is too long. Surely that should be for me to decide, not the software? I‌ have to admit that‌ I also don't quite understand why SkyDemon insists on making me press a button marked "go flying" if it is then going to second-guess whether I really am flying!
