On my first flight yesterday, after a while, the W/V calculation failed and a red cross appeared.  During the second flight, W/V still did not calculate.  Any ideas as to what the problem may be please?  (Using latest version of SD, on an Android tablet, feed by PAW Rosetta.)

Thank you both for the replies above.  There was no internet available at the club before flight so no forecast wind downloaded obviously.  With you advice then, if my tablet gets its GPS from my PaW, if I also connect it to my mobile phone hotspot, will this work, or is that hotspot also via a wifi link?


If you connect to your mobile phone hotspot, providing your phone is receiving a signal, you will have internet connectivity and you will be able to download the forecast wind data. I hope this helps.


Mike
