My new share-o-plane has a PilotAware fitted on a cigarette lighter adaptor.
Saves messing with a usb battery like my previous rental setup, but being switched on with the avionics master means that it isn’t ready for use for a couple of minutes after startup.
I’ve got quite used to the engine start and off blocks logging, but this requires starting the flight before the engine is started.
Is there any way to start a flight using my iPad’s location services and then switch to the PilotAware once that has booted?
It should have finished booting by the time runup checks are completed...

It's hard coded, but that shouldn't be a problem. It sounds like your traffic receiver is ceasing to transmit anything to SkyDemon just because it hasn't got a GPS fix. That's a problem. We do expect your traffic receiver or GPS device to continuously transmit data to SkyDemon even if it doesn't have a fix. That's standard behaviour and it's how we know your device hasn't died. It can just transmit "no fix" sentences to SkyDemon, which isn't a problem.

Perhaps you could ask its manufacturer to clarify why they don't accept a connection until they have received a fix, and why they stop transmitting data if a fix is lost?

It's not transmitting anything at the point of turning on as it needs to boot up...

                         I'm glad you are able to start PAW before the engine as that solves...
