Thank you for the reply Hannah. When will you update the online documentation to include the blue triangle description ?

The coloured triangles indicate that the altitude readout is likely to be accurate within a certain distance. For example a blue triangle means that the position may be accurate to within 50ft, while green means within 100ft, yellow within 150ft, orange within 250ft and red for a more unreliable altitude reading. Just remember that the iPad uses GPS to find your horizontal and vertical position, and so the altitude instrument is not going to be as accurate as a real altimeter.

I had a very short flight today and I also had problems with a gps signal. I have already reset my network settings and though tthe problem was cured, but it isn't. Strange thing, all my plates have disappered as well. Because I was in the right seat, I did a hard turnoff and got the signal back.

I take it all back, I've just got home, started it up four times in a row and everything is working ok, including the plates.

No idea whats going on, but definitely a problem earlier today, gremlins!!

I have also been having this problem on my iPad3. Switching the iPad off and then on again seems to have solved it although I haven't flown since trying that fix.

In common with others, I also have the blue triangle. It would be really good to have an answer to the question of what this means. It has been asked a few times now so could I politely ask for an answer soon.

Thanks.

Thanks Hannah, I have just reset my network settings and it didn't solve the problem, however, reseting the network settings doesn't get rid of the bluetooth link with my GPS so, after telling the ipad to 'forget the link' and then re-pairing the ipad and gps it worked.

I have booted up , opened Skydemon and shutdown 5 times now and it only failed to work on the 3rd occassion, but that was probably just being temprimental.

I still have the blue triangle though and still no idea what it means!!

Hi Hannah,

You might consider resetting your iPad's network settings: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will forget any existing wifi and Bluetooth settings, so you will have to re-establish any wifi network connections and re-pair any Bluetooth devices after the reset, but after speaking to a SkyDemon user with a similar issue he has found that this has resolved his problem.

Thanks nje - tried it again - and it worked!! Thankyou

I'll try in the car on the way home too.

Best again, Tony

Tony, I've tried the hard turn-off about 30 times now, and it has worked everytime, but it has to be in that sequence I described, otherwise it's a non starter. I tried it with my garmin glo and the gns 5870.

For what ever reason the GPS receiver has to be turned on after skydemon has started and it has to be turned off again before you do the hard turn off.

I'm sure you are doing everything correctly but just in case, you have to do the hard turn off everytime you shut the ipad down if you want skydemon to work the next time you start it up again and not just once. I have sent an email to the SD team so, hopefully they might be able to fix , apples problem
