SkyDemon malfunction with iPad iOS 8.3 and external GPS

At least it proved I haven’t lost the ability to read a chart !


SkyDemon on my iPad, with a Garmin Glo external GPS was unable to find location data after installing the Apple iOS 8.3 update on my mini iPad.

Apple seem to be aware of the problem but said when speaking to them today that they didn’t know how to fix this or when they would issue a new update.


So I re-set iPad back to factory settings after backing up to Laptop. Then downloaded Download iOS 8.2 IPSW for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch [Direct DL]Jaxov
(Download iOS 8.2 IPSW With Apple Watch Support, Improvements & Bug Fixes [Direct DL] ) which I found on the internet.


That took ages to download but quick to install it.


I then re-downloaded SD. But had forgotten to pair the GPS back to the iPad which is why initially it didn’t work.

Seemed to do the trick so took it for test it by taking it for a drive…… ok should fly but hey ho !!!


Whilst “go flying” the compass followed car directions and location data didn’t disappear. So looks like sorted.
Don’t think I will be updating the iPad again, lol.
