I'm a recent user to Skydemon. It has worked perfectly for navigation with my old GPS receiver, an Emtac BTGPS III. No issues at all.

However, I've recently upgraded to a new receiver (here: http://www.gns-gmbh.com/index.php?id=79&L=1). It offers some benefits as it has a faster refresh, support for more constellations than just GPS, and SBAS. And also has a longer battery life.

The new receiver works flawlessly with Memory Map both on my PDA and my laptop, as well as with my Android phone. However, Skydemon will not work with it. When entering Navigation mode, it simply says "Seeking Satellites, 'n' found ('x' out there)". It never gets past that and never gets a fix, even though it often 'finds' as many as 15 or 16 satellites.

I'm not entirely sure why when Memory Map still works perfectly with the same Bluetooth COM port settings. The old receiver continues to work.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is it because Skydemon will not support GLONASS/SBAS NMEA messages or something?

Cheers
