Approach selection resets following external GPS connection loss

Group: Forum Members Posts: 48, Visits: 205	SkyDemon v3.13.3 I am using an external GPS source (SkyEcho2) connected to a Samsung Galaxy Tab A via wifi. I sometimes experience temporary (5-15 second) GPS signal loss, which I suspect is a tablet issue and am investigating further - the purpose of this post is to describe SkyDemon behaviour when that happens and an approach has been selected for a destination airfield. When the external GPS signal drops out and returns, SD behaves mostly as expected and a seamless re-connection occurs (depending on the length of dropout I see the message counting number of seconds without a signal until reconnection). However, if an approach has been selected, the selected approach is lost at this stage, and needs to be re-selected as though for the first time. This is a slight annoyance but it would be good if SD could retain the selected approach following an interruption of GPS signal reception. Is that a simple fix?
