Piperboy,

But they might have actually hit something worthwhile with an ipad!

I don't know, they found Dresden just fine without having any Location Services turned on.

MaxAlt- are you an airline pilot by any chance?. If you are I bet you don't use a map and look out of the window of a 737/A320 et al.

i think youll find that WB and JG are very old friends, its just banter.

Now we've got the route sorted, anybody know of the best r-nav data base to put into the i-pad, and costs?

Looking for a little advice on iPad and Skydemon use in the UK

I've been flying the last few years in the US using a wifi only iPad with Foreflight and picking up my GPS via a Stratus

I'm now back in the UK what options are open to me with my wifi only iPad for my EFB ..if any ?

Or is it time to ditch my wifi only iPad and update to a sim card /GPS model ?

SkyDemon will work fine with a WiFi only iPad and external GPS, as you used in the US.

Thank you :ok:
That's going to save me some money then.

I bought a 7" Galaxy Tab A specifically for SD. Main reasons for choosing this were built in 4G and GPS. I put a Three 12month / 12G PAYG SIM in it.

The only thing I have noticed is that SD occasionally craps out. However I think this is down to me leaving the 4G connected and losing signal.

Problems can arise when installing OS updates for iPads - preventing linking to an external GPS. That's why I switched to the Galaxy Tab, which solved the problem.

It is true; that has happened.

Once.

Some years ago now. It thoroughly embarrassed Apple who fixed it tout suite.

I am not particularly an Apple fan, but the potential for such cock-ups are not limited to any single manufacturer.

It happened last year with the iOS10 release.

iPad Pro 9.7", Garmin Glo, SkyDemon... the GPS dropped out all over the shop. Was eventually fixed in 10.2 (I think).

Was a lovely introduction for me to iPad navigation having just passed my skills test using map & stopwatch :lol:

Anyway, now it works beautifully with the iPad (wifi only) and PilotAware in the Shareoplane.

But I'll not be upgrading my iPad to iOS11 until a few weeks after release and I don't see any issues reported from others :)
