I have an iPad4 (no internal GPS) with the GNS1000 external GPS.
It just won't work, the aeroplane symbol is yellow for a few seconds, then red.
I've tried turning location service off and on, and resetting the location.
I've also power cycled my iPad.
I have the latest version of IOS.
The GNS1000 has GPS lock and Bluetooth communication with the iPad.
I've tried resetting the GNS1000.
Nothing works - has anyone else solved this problem?

Regards,
Terry

Grab this free app:-

If the red light is blinking once per second, then your GPS is correctly paired and the iPad is using the location data.

Even if Location Services itself is switch on, you need to ensure that individual apps within the Location Services window are also toggled to 'On'. Open your iPad Settings app, then tap on Privacy, then Location Services and you will see a list of apps using GPS. Make sure SkyDemon is on, and you'll find that next time you tap Go Flying you will get a GPS fix.

Hi Hannah,

Yes, checked all you suggested still same problem. The system has been working fine until recently and always check settings before flight.
Still stumped.

Without changing any of the previously discussed settings I switched off the ipad and switched on again. Go flying now works as advertised. That simple?

                                 That certainly works, but why ? What have Apple done to mess it up.
