What does Skydemon do differently using PilotAware versus GDL90 as the Navigation source? 


I have PilotAware setup as a wifi. I've noticed I can get SD to work either using the PaW option or GDL90. Is there a loss of functionality if choosing one or the other? 

The reason for the question is that I also have an ADL Weather unit which can transmit weather using GDL. So if i select GDL as the nav source in SD will I loose anything from the PaW capabilities?

The PilotAware option within SkyDemon accepts FLARM protocol but over a UDP connection rather than the traditional TCP.

Thank Tim, that makes more sense! I've had several thread with fairly good traffic to help PaW and SD intergrate with a more standard approach. At you request the summarised thread is here
