I have an iPad 2 wifi only and the full blown Sky Demon (with all the add ons). I think it's a fab piece of software for planning, but I'm having a nightmare with it in Nav mode.

I bought a bad elf pro (the separate device, not plug in) to provide Sky Demon with GPS data. It has a screen on the GPS unit so you can see the read out (which is good as an ultimate last resort and back up!).

I've connected the two via Bluetooth fine and used the Bad Elf app on the iPad to see the output of the GPS unit which works fine.

When I go into Sky Demon in "Go Flying" mode it shows as a red aircraft symbol which I understand means that GPS data is not being fed to Sky Demon at least once a second.

When I connect my ipad by wifi, the aircraft turns yellow and it seems to work and being provided by GPS data.

I have ensured that Location Services for Sky Demon are switched on.

I've searched the forums and tried various Privacy resets, and checking setting with no solution.

I'm desperate to get this sorted, so any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jay,

I have exactly the same issue as you. I just purchased a full Skydemon license + Ipad mini + Garmin Glo for aviation and after disconnecting the wifi I get the green sign 'seeking GPS satellites' while at the same time the Garmin GPS says it has a fix. The aircraft position is unknown in the mean time. I tried a lot of different things to solve it but nothings seems to work. I am curious if you had any more luck in finding a solution. I also wrote an email to skydemon for assistance.

Thanks
Jan

Hi Jay,

I found the solution in my case.

Take a look at this:
http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?supportPage=GLO&caseId=%7B3f8b3010-6b23-11e2-65d0-000000000000%7D&locale=en_US

Garmin provides this solution:

If you are using an iOS device and encounter a problem receiving location information from the Garmin GLO, please try these steps:

  1. Go to the Settings app.
  2. Tap on "Privacy".
  3. Tap on "Location Services".
  4. Toggle the top row to "Off". This will turn off location services for all of your applications.
  5. Reboot your iPad (press-and-hold the top button for 5 seconds, slide the red slider to power off, wait 5 seconds, then press the top button to turn your iPad back on).
  6. Go back to the main iPad Settings app.
  7. Tap on "Privacy".
  8. Tap on "Location Services".
  9. Turn location services to "On". Also, make sure that location services are set to "On" for your Garmin application.

If you continue having problems, try leaving your iPhone/iPad connected to the Internet for a few hours (the screen can be off) after attempting the above steps. This should correct your Garmin GLO issues with your iPad.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks

Jan

Works for me - GPS Data now shows a course, whereas that was missing before.

This implies, as I had thought, that the problem was with IOS, rather than the GPS unit, or the SD app.
