Hello
I have a ipad air 2 (SW Version iOS 10.02). If I start the latest Version of Skydemon and Change in the "flight" mode, i get the message "waiting for Location data".
All the other programms needing my current postion (like Google maps) work fine.
Any idea whats wrong?

Best regards

If you have the wifi-only model of iPad (instead of the 3g capable one) then your iPad does not have a GPS receiver. You will need to get an external third-party GPS receiver for it if you wish to use it for navigation.

Your current position as reported by Google Maps is likely based on Wifi and cannot be used for real-time navigation.
