I haven’t tried this but wondering if it’s possible to use device GPS and still receive SkyEcho Traffic Source.Suffered SkyEcho disconnect on previous flight so wishing to achieve setup that maintains SkyDemon.Using iPhone 6 and SkyEcho with most recent updates and no SIM fitted in iPhone.

No, I understand that SD receives the traffic information (with GPS coordinates) and your own-ship position (with GPS coordinates and GPS altitude) from the same source (here SkyEcho).

However, your handheld device will use its inbuilt GPS receiver (or an external GPS receiver linked to it via BlueTooth) as GPS source for any other applications that need GPS coordinates.

It has been previously reported that, occasionally, the WIFI connection between SE2 and SD drops. I am not sure what causes this and only saw it once happen to me during SE2 testing. I was at home testing SE2 (in RX only mode) and during around 20 hrs of continuous SE2 operation the WIFI connection dropped once.
