Hi Jay,

I found the solution in my case.

Take a look at this:
http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?supportPage=GLO&caseId=%7B3f8b3010-6b23-11e2-65d0-000000000000%7D&locale=en_US

Garmin provides this solution:

If you are using an iOS device and encounter a problem receiving location information from the Garmin GLO, please try these steps:

  1. Go to the Settings app.
  2. Tap on "Privacy".
  3. Tap on "Location Services".
  4. Toggle the top row to "Off". This will turn off location services for all of your applications.
  5. Reboot your iPad (press-and-hold the top button for 5 seconds, slide the red slider to power off, wait 5 seconds, then press the top button to turn your iPad back on).
  6. Go back to the main iPad Settings app.
  7. Tap on "Privacy".
  8. Tap on "Location Services".
  9. Turn location services to "On". Also, make sure that location services are set to "On" for your Garmin application.

If you continue having problems, try leaving your iPhone/iPad connected to the Internet for a few hours (the screen can be off) after attempting the above steps. This should correct your Garmin GLO issues with your iPad.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks

Jan

Hello Jay,

I have exactly the same issue as you. I just purchased a full Skydemon license + Ipad mini + Garmin Glo for aviation and after disconnecting the wifi I get the green sign 'seeking GPS satellites' while at the same time the Garmin GPS says it has a fix. The aircraft position is unknown in the mean time. I tried a lot of different things to solve it but nothings seems to work. I am curious if you had any more luck in finding a solution. I also wrote an email to skydemon for assistance.

Thanks
Jan

I am getting the same with an iPad mini & GNS 1000 external BT GPS.

Flying yesterday (solo so I couldnt play too much) the GNS was showing solid connection & solid GPS signal, but SD would not play ball and see it. I went back to planning mode and went flying without joy, and restarted the App. Only thing I didnt do was restart the iPad, which ISTR worked last time I used in the air.

Played a bit more at home, and got it showing, but each time I went 'Flying' it turned Red after about a minute - GNS still showing good fix.

location services are on, and I stay in Offline mode when flying.

ISTR the Windows version used to have a switch to allow use with less GPS accuracy, but I cannot find it on either the Windows or iPad version.

When flying, I had the GNS at the top RHS of the front windscreen on C150, so it should have had a good view of satellites. Here at home GPS Status shows it as a poor fix, but in that case why does it show OK, and then lose it?

This is with 2.6.3 of SD


Not sure what to do next...

I have also tried a friends Garmin Glo setup connected with my iPad, and I get the same "Seeking GPS Satellites" within Sky Demon.

I'm desperate to get this sorted, as the amazing weather is tempting my flying. Any ideas?

Unfortunately no success.

Still have the green bar with "Seeking GPS Satellites" on Sky Demon, with GPS accuracy locked to 3 meters within the Bad Elf app!

Try:-

Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services

Turn off 'Setting Time Zone', then reboot the iPad.

I have an iPad 2 wifi only and the full blown Sky Demon (with all the add ons). I think it's a fab piece of software for planning, but I'm having a nightmare with it in Nav mode.

I bought a bad elf pro (the separate device, not plug in) to provide Sky Demon with GPS data. It has a screen on the GPS unit so you can see the read out (which is good as an ultimate last resort and back up!).

I've connected the two via Bluetooth fine and used the Bad Elf app on the iPad to see the output of the GPS unit which works fine.

When I go into Sky Demon in "Go Flying" mode it shows as a red aircraft symbol which I understand means that GPS data is not being fed to Sky Demon at least once a second.

When I connect my ipad by wifi, the aircraft turns yellow and it seems to work and being provided by GPS data.

I have ensured that Location Services for Sky Demon are switched on.

I've searched the forums and tried various Privacy resets, and checking setting with no solution.

I'm desperate to get this sorted, so any help would be appreciated.
