This doesn't help users of older devices for which there isn't a firmware fix.

As things stand, for a large number of people, installing the iOS 8.4 beta is the only solution apart from buying a new GPS receiver.

I'm normally an enthusiastic supporter of Apple, but the way they have handled this issue has been shocking. Why on earth they couldn't provide a small 8.3.1 update to get everyone back up and running weeks ago is beyond me.
Yes, 100% agree with you. Apple won't release 8.4 until June 30th

Can someone please confirm the method of installing the 8.4b works and brings back the Dual External GPS signal to the wifi-only iPad and thus makes Skydemon in flight navigation work again?

Can't check myself as the Dual happens to be on my airplane, which happens to be in another country...

Thanks in advance!
