Flying with: - Dynon Skyview (latest software) - Skydemon (latest software) on android tablet Samsung Galaxy S2 8.0 (installed fixed in the aircraft) - Wi-Fi Adapter for SkyView While in-flight, the tablet/skydemon loses the current position on my screen and I get the message: "seeking for gps satellites" After some seconds the connection is established again and I can monitor the aircraft position on the tablet again until the next signal loss. It happens regularly almost every 2-3 minutes. I dont think it is a problem with the gps antenna of my aircraft because when it happens on the tablet, at the same time my dynon skyview screen works well and continuously. I would very much appreciate any kind of hints and help if you have had similar experience. Thank you ! I have Skyview and use with an iPad. I've not experienced this problem but, if Skyview is not losing position, then it sounds like the wifi adaptor is suspect. Your tablet should be able to show whether the wifi connection is being lost. If it is, I would try reseating the dongle first then, if that doesn't fix the problem, replace- fortunately, unlike most Dynon kit, the dongle is not expensive!. You could also interrogate the log file in Skyview which might show something. Hi ! OK, I will give a try to check the WIFI connection, it was also my first hint. Either the the wifi antenna of the tablet or the wifi-dongle... I dont know how exactly to check the signal... There is a similar thread in the dynon forum here: http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1467219448/0#0 Thank you !
