Hi,
we have the Air Connect Interface to send Traffic from Powerflarm to skydemon via WLAN.
I need a Hardware connected via WLAN and RS232 to Skydemon to steer my Autopilot.

Every old Handheld GPS (e.g Garmin Pilot III from 1997) can send this signals from the progammed track to my Autopilot. (TruTrak of Trio)

Any change to realize this Hardward and bind it to skydemon ?
Achim

@DMOIN: They have safety concerns, with very good reason, and the 'freedom' of ultra- and microlight is not always a good thing. In the certified world such function is in violation with everything which brought aviation to safety!

To facts, it works and yes, as an emergency backup I do also use an iPhone to feed data to the autopilot via Bluetooth (and yes, feeding the track including GPSS from the iOS device also works with the competition, it is indeed easy). But we have to respect Skydemon decision to not offer this function and I am all with them, given a whole big part of my fellow pilots behavior. Also but, we will see the function as the pressure of the masses will bring not only the good to surface.
