Technically possible it may be, but I don't understand the point. In fact I think it's pointless.

If anyone is having a problem with their PAW GPS, please report that to PAW or switch to a different GPS dongle. If my understanding is correct, PAW is a product in which you can do such things. It isn't SkyDemon's job to make up for deficiencies that are really rooted in your choice of hardware.

I agree with Markus; there is integrity in having one source for both position, traffic and weather data.

Please don't forget my original query was to allow logging to begin before the GPS had obtained a position source.

The GPS issues are likely easily solved by relocating the receiver to a position with less obstruction.

The fact that I have a secondary GPS source and mentioned splitting the two to allow redundancy was feature creep.

I have a similar setup and did think about being able to use SD / PAw before engine start for recording Engine On / Off Blocks. My PAw takes 1m:50s before it's providing WiFi and GPS. I came to the comclusion that I'd need to provide an intermediate power source, like a Anker battery to allow the PAw to be ready.
In the end I concluded that this was more trouble that it was worth for the benefit, so I let the PAw warm up with the engine running and I'm ready to SD:'Go Flying' by the time I call the tower. Depending on your personal routine there may also be time during the A-check to allow SD to be online and update the latest Weather / Notams
