Sorry for the silly question but how should I make Skydemon aware of using a BT GPS receiver (GNS-2000 in casu) ?
It is paired with the iPad on BT but nothing is showing up in Setup/connectivity options. I would have expected t have it listed under External GPS.

Thanks in advance.

Br,

I only did it once (I run Android myself) but I believe you have to set the permissions to allow SD to use the external GPS. Somewhere in privacy or security settings. You specifically allow SD access. I don't have an iPad at hand.

There's no explicit external GPS on iOS. You just start SkyDemon as normal and if you've paired your external GPS, you have to trust that iOS Location Services is using it instead of the internal one. From SkyDemon's perspective, it's impossible for us to tell (and therefore to tell you).

Thanks for this clear information. Was expecting to have to explicit designate the external GPS source.
