I was wondering if you can help - I'm being bounced between various people to find the answer!

I have SD using PilotAware as GPS source all running on Ipad Mini ios12

If i minimise skydemon (switch apps or go to home screen) after about 5 mins (reproducible consistently and even at home when not flying) it will lose the GPS/Wifi from PaW. It comes up with the "no signal received for some time..." message

I'm pretty sure its a PaW problem, as when i use the IPAD internal GPS and switch SD to background, SD still works fine, so I think its something to do with the wifi connection to PaW. Is there any logging in SD i can get it to prove if this is the case?

Hi TimothyWhat you say doesn’t seem to quite make sense with what we are seeing. For example, if I kick off a Netflix download and then minimise the app it still continues its download. I also see there’s a function on iOS called “background App refresh” but SD isn’t compatible?

Yes, And Google Maps for example pushes turn by turn instruction banners to the top of my iPhone screen, even if a switch to another app in the foreground ...

TimT it depends if google maps has a GPS connection too. Timothy is saying GPS connection works different to WIFI??
However I’m sure there’s some WiFi connected apps that work in background no problem.

                         Garmin Glo is Bluetooth based. No problems there.
