I think this thread has run its course. Blaming SkyDemon for problems that arise from your own hardware configuration is not on, and is a poor choice of where to direct your frustration. Much as we would love to mount a crusade on behalf of our affected users, we actually have a full schedule of work to do on SkyDemon.

If anyone else comes across this thread, the issue has been confirmed to be a bluetooth one between Apple and Garmin devices.

It's a good point that you make, Chequeredflag.........I've yet to see anything that suggests that Skydemon have actually done anything to improve this situation.

I wonder if we will get a reduction in subscription fees for the period that SD cannot be relied upon?

Seriously, Tim.......please give some indication that you do have at least some slight concern about this problem and stop just shrugging your shoulders and saying "nothing to do with me".

Hi Tim. I think we all understand it's an Apple problem, and it's considerable impact on your excellent SkyDemon service It was only yesterday, having spoken to Garmin Aviation Department, that someone took the bother to talk me through the problems, and actually confirm IOS 10.02 is being developed by Apple to finally fix the problem. Other than that, no information was forthcoming. Looking forward to Skydemon service resuming normally sometime soon!

Chequeredflag, Garmin acknowledged the problem was between their device and iOS on the very first page on this thread.

Just spoken to Garmin UK. Very helpful, acknowledged the problems, which he claims is very widespread with many other products relying on Bluetooth connectivity. IOS 10/10.1/10.1.1 actually has a problem which
prevents Bluetooth from maintaining connectivity - it is very much an Apple problem as we suspected. He tells me Apple are working on a fix, which will be issued via IOS10.02 in the near future.

But Tim, your forum, and indeed various others are full of complaints about this problem, so you are in a position to talk to both Garmin and Apple to push for a fix. This is frankly daft, and if not fixed soon, I will dump Skydemon and go back to my trusty 296.

You have an interesting idea about how much influence software companies like SkyDemon have with Apple. If only it were so. End-users are far, far more powerful.

Not too sure why you say that, Tim.
I had already updated to Garmin 2.8 before all these issues. It still didn't work.
My comment about Garmin and SkyDemon not doing anything was related to the fact that Apple have always issued updates to 3rd party users ahead of general release. Either this hasn't happened, or compatibiity checks haven't been carried out.
Either way, neither Garmin or SkyDemon appear to be taking a pro-active approach, because they both seem to be sitting back and waiting for Apple to sort it out.

I updated my Garmin Glo to the 2.8 version, and downloaded ios10.1 to the iPad, and it lost connectivity 8 times during a one hour flight today! This morning, Apple came up with another update (ios10.1.1), which I downloaded at the flying club. On the way home, it stayed permanantly "fixed" during the 30 minute drive home. Apple say the latest update is to fix some "health issues"....... yes mine if it's not fixed soon😩Cannot rely on SD at the moment (I know it's not an SD problem, but........)

Ian, Garmin fixed it with a firmware update.

So no, it certainly was not SkyDemon's fault. The fact it applied to all apps using your GPS should have made that clear.
