+xHi all. Sorry if this has been asked.. a search didn't turn up any results. I use SkyDemon and an iPad Pro in the cockpit, connected via wifi to PilotAware. Both fantastic products. Currently, I just update SD before I head out to the aircraft so live data is then turned off to avoid the nagging connection issues. But what I would like to do is drop a sim card into my iPad and actually use live data while in flight. So the question is, does anyone have experience with this setup? Can the iPad gather live data via GPRS while connected by wifi to the Pilotaware? Or will it be trying to get data ONLY from the wifi connection and therefore report no connection? Thanks in advance. /BoNeHeAd Yes it is possible. You have to set a static IP in the wifi settings. To do this, click on the blue "i" in the wifi settings of the ipad. There enter the data of the attached image.  (confirm after each input with Return, so that the input of the line is accepted) If you enter it correctly, you will be on wifi, but access to the internet will be through the mobile network. The wifi is not displayed in the bar at the top. Only the available mobile data connection is displayed there. So do not be surprised. The setting is saved. The ipad dials into the wifi as soon as it is available. I use this option myself to let SD communicate with my Dynon Skyview via WiFi and get weather information from the internet via GSM at the same time.

Just adding to an old thread with a relatively new solution:
Stick an iGrid dongle in your PilotAware, connect to your phone's hotspot, enable the router function in the network settings and 'go flying' using PAW. Your iPad will use the data from your phone (when it gets a decent signal) and will keep SkyDemon up-to-date in the air (so long as you enable Internet in flight).
My iPad Mini does not have a sim card (or slot) and yet I get data from my phone's hotspot, routed via PilotAware.

I believe there is a PilotAware forum. That might be a better place to get lots of answers.

+x+xI know this a very old thread, but does anyonme have any experience of this ? My Samsung Galaxy S22+ also couldn't use mobile data when connected to Pilotaware or Dynon Skyview. The 'Intelligent Wi-Fi' option also didn't help. Using speedify does work, but you have to pay for it. Does anyone have experience of either (1) Making it work in Android without using a 3rd party app, or (2) Using a genuinely free app rather than speedify ?
Any info. appreciated because it's rather useful to get the weather etc in-flight without having to disconnect from the external gps source. This may or may not be helpful. I also use a Samsung S22+ for SkyDemon, but don't have PilotAware; I use a SkyEcho 2. I can get mobile data when flying (proved by getting SD real-time wind speed and direction and METAR updates). The one thing I do is to select "Go Flying" in SD before turning on my SE2. This always assures that mobile data connects properly. I never used to do this (I used to powered up SE2 before selecting "Go Flying) but noticed on a few occasions that I didn't get a mobile data connection. Maybe something to try with your setup? Tony Worth a try. Thx. Still think there must be a cleaner way to do it though.

Look for "Speedify" it uses GSM & Wifi at the same time.
