Thinking of getting an ipad mini with Skydemon for navigation.

I understand I would need the cellular version and so I have some questions:

Would I need a mobile phone contract to use my skydemon navigation?

When in use would the ipad mini receive phone calls etc.?

Would there be any other cost apart from the skydemon subscription?

regards John

John,




I use an Pad mini (not 2) and Skydemon Nav. It is excellent and ideal size for small cockpit use (C152 in my case) on the knee - I use an AV8 IPad mini-specific kneepad. You do need the one capable of taking a sim card as that is the only model that includes the gps chip. However, you don't actually need to insert a sim card for it to work in the air. Alternatively you can buy the cheaper, non-sim version and add an external Bluetooth gps which some users feel is a better and cheaper solution.

I believe there have been some issues with the IPad Mini2 vis a vis which version include the gps chip and others with direct experience may wish to comment.

Hello,

That's exactly how I use my IPad mini.
