Getting WIN 8/10 Tablet to work on Skydemon using internal GPS
Having spent months trying to make this work on my Toshiba Encore, finally managed it…
Need to download a com port emulator that will convert the built in tablet GPS signal into one that comes from a COM port, so that Skydemon can see the feed.

It cost me US$15 to get this.

If you're interested the attached may be of use.

I wanted to use my Surface Pro 4  W10 with SD.   After reading the forums and even with advice from a moderator it seemed that I needed either the Centrafuse software, which granted was only $15,  or the equivalent from turboirc.com.  I was tearing my hair out trying to get this combination to function with no success.  It was only on a more general forum about using the Surface 4 with other road map software I read a post which simply said "you don't need extra software, just plug in your external GPS to the USB socket" (in my case a GlobalSat BU-353S4 from Amazon). 
So I did and it just worked fine, including with SD no problem at all !!
