As previously reported,I've installed the Beta version of iOS10.2 (it's up to version 7 now) and it seems to be working......well, working much better. First flight it disconnected for about 15 seconds and then re-connected itself. As this had also happened before iOS10 I think this was acceptable. Last Saturday it disconnected while taxying and seemed to be staying disconnected. As I had a bit of time, I re-connected it and it then worked fine for a 1.5 hour flight. So time will tell, but I would recommend updating to the Beta version.....or wait for the official release, which I read is due some time in December.

I turned on my Skydemon and Garmin Glo at home and it found the location but then lost it and I got an error message saying "waiting for location data." I hope to fly on Saturday so I will try it in the air and report back ‌‌

I have checked my ipad and it has definitely updated to v10.2. Not sure where I go from here as v10.2 was supposed to fix the problem.

I have just updated my Ipad Mini 2 to 10.2 but don't have my Dual XGPS150 with me. Will check it out tonight. There is some advice about that suggests you shut down Bluetooth and forget the GPS, reboot the ipad and them reconnect and pair with the GPS anew. Do this after updating the IOS version. Not sure if it works with GPS but it didn't achieve anything with the hands free telephone in my BMW and Iphone 6s. That does seem to be better with 10.2. Until the IOS 9 debacle, I had a rock steady connection between my Dual and the Ipad. If only!

I have been running Skydemon with my Dual XGPS150 for about 4.5 hours now, mostly stationary in my office but also on the 30 min commute to work this morning. No position data drop out so far.

So for anyone else information experiencing similar problems this is what I did: Update to v10.2 Remove Garmin Glo from Bluetooth on the ipad. ‌Re boot the ipad‌‌ Reconnect to Garmin Glo and it appears to keep the connection. Also make sure the Garmin Glo has the latest update. Happy landings.‌‌ ‌‌‌‌‌
