I haven’t tried this but wondering if it’s possible to use device GPS and still receive SkyEcho Traffic Source.

Suffered SkyEcho disconnect on previous flight so wishing to achieve setup that maintains SkyDemon.

Using iPhone 6 and SkyEcho with most recent updates and no SIM fitted in iPhone.

Screen message was “Device Offline”with an ascending seconds counter.
After 35 seconds I checked iPhone wifi to confirm it was still connected to SkyEcho.
Then I tried stopping SkyDemon navigation and restarting “Go Flying with SkyEcho”then closing SkyDemon app and restarting and then restarting “Go Flying with SkyEcho “but each time got same message “waiting for device”.
Finally I stopped and restarted SkyEcho and devices connected immediately.

+x

No, I understand that SD receives the traffic information (with GPS coordinates) and your own-ship position (with GPS coordinates and GPS altitude) from the same source (here SkyEcho).

It has been previously reported that, occasionally, the WIFI connection between SE2 and SD drops. I am not sure what causes this and only saw it once happen to me during SE2 testing. I was at home testing SE2 (in RX only mode) and during around 20 hrs of continuous SE2 operation the WIFI connection dropped once.
