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

I have an iPad3 with an internal GPS and also a BlueTooth GNS1000. Until I'd say iOS6.0 I had no problems, since then I have had all sorts of intermittent GPS issues, both with the internal one and the BlueTooth one. It has got to the point that I now no longer have much faith in the iPad GPS reliability in the air. This is a broad statement I know, but that's the way I see it. I have other flying apps including the excellent Air Nav Pro which also exhibits intermittent location deafness. Not always at the same time as SkyDemon.

My gut feeling is that there is an Apple iOS bug lurking somewhere that nobody's managed to fix yet.

What has worked in the past for me, though not 100% I have to admit, is resetting 'Privacy' data including location services, rebooting the iPad and opening SkyDemon as the ONLY app for the duration of the flight.

I noticed today that I only get red, orange or blue 'triangles' on the ALT display when navigating. Strangely, blue isn't documented that I could find - but yellow is here : http://skydemon.aero/inflight/documentation/instruments.htm under the Altimeter section.

What does blue mean ??
