PAW is linked to Sky Demon on a iPad Mini 4 and I also have Firefox on the tablet. If I'm using SD for navigation and then switch to the browser on 192.168.1.1 to check out METAR, radar view etc. when I go back to Sky Demon, it says connection lost. It then re-connects but interrupts the recorded data such as the recorded final route data of the trip etc. The iPad has the SD app in the background when switching. Any ideas please - -Thanks in advance - Chris

There are a few exceptions to this - for example, we can continue to use Apple's own location services in the background - but no such service exists for us to maintain connectivity to another network device.
