I currently use SD on an iPad with an external Bluetooth GPS device (Garmin GLO).
If I buy a SkyEcho 2 can I use that for GPS position data instead?
That would mean one fewer devices to cope with.

Under 'Setup/Thrid-Party Devices' SD says do not connect the SkyEcho 2 if you are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I wonder why that is; I understand the SkyEcho connects with WiFi rather than BT, but I don't see why that would be a problem.

I use the ADSB out everytime I fly with aircraft without this possibility. Regardless if this is permitted or not, no one will check this! If all SE2 owners do the same, it will be more crowded on de SD display, and safer in the air.
Once I forgot the change the HEX and REG in SE2, so later on I discovered my flight in Flightradar24 tracked as 2 flights. The MLAT from the aircraft transponder was a very short line compared to the ADSB track, this was tracked almost from takeoff till landing.Smile
