I've just spent the last hour and half switching two ipad minis and two gps units on and off and have eventually worked out a squence that will temporarily solve this problem.
Firstly I borrowed my son's mini ipad and his GNS 5870 which he hasn't installed the latest apple update on (ver6.1.2)
That works fine and picks up a blutooth connection and a gps signal and holds it. I restarted it about 15 times or so to test it.
Secondly I tried his GNS 5870 on mine with the same results I have with my Garmin Glo, intermittent success but no reliability.
I finally worked out a sequence which is a bit of a pain but it worked every time and picked up a bluetooth connection and maintained a gps signal.
Boot up your ipad > Do a Hard shutdown (Hold the Lock (power) key and Menu key down, until it goes off) > Boot it up again >Start Skydemon
> Now switch on your GPS unit > Wait for gps signal and bluetooth connection > now click 'Go Flying' You should now have a gps lock. That has worked for the last 12 times I have tried it.
Not finished yet.
When closing down you then have to:
Switch off GPS unit first, > Then do a Hard shutdown (otherwise, the next time you boot up, you won't get a GPS connection.
I hope this works for you, it certainly does on mine.
One further point - Because the mini ipad that my son owns isn't suffering this problem, it does indicate quite strongly that this problem has been brought about by Apples latest update and not Skydemon. Good Luck, and I hope the skydemon team can find a workaround for this annoying problem.
