I currently use SD on an iPad with an external Bluetooth GPS device (Garmin GLO).
If I buy a SkyEcho 2 can I use that for GPS position data instead?
That would mean one fewer devices to cope with.

Under 'Setup/Thrid-Party Devices' SD says do not connect the SkyEcho 2 if you are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I wonder why that is; I understand the SkyEcho connects with WiFi rather than BT, but I don't see why that would be a problem.

Hello
 I am using a SkyEcho2 with SD in Germany, but unfortunately I have not received any other Aircraft so far.

Maybe more experienced user   can help me?

My Set-up:
I set-up the box to receive ADS-B on the first receiver and FLARM at the second receiver.
My flight was from EDTO (Germany) to LSZF (Switzerland). I use SD and have also purchased the FLARM decoder.
The WIFI link was ok since the GPS Signal was received.
The weather was very good so we spotted up to 15 gliders and more than 20 aircrafts (some even close by)
Skyecho was on the front window (C172N) in an upright position as recommended.
My observations:
-        The GPS Signal was up to 12 minutes not valid so I have track gaps in recording
-        Skydemon was set “to show” even bearing less targets, but no aircraft at all was shown.
-        No aircraft was forewarned
I hope you can tell my what I did wrong …

I also send a request to the Uavionix Team but no answer since two weeks I got only a “Ticket number”. Also the phone answers only an Answering machine …


Thank you and
Regards 

Thomas
