Group: Forum Members Posts: 19, Visits: 22	I currently use SD on an iPad with an external Bluetooth GPS device (Garmin GLO). If I buy a SkyEcho 2 can I use that for GPS position data instead? That would mean one fewer devices to cope with. Under 'Setup/Thrid-Party Devices' SD says do not connect the SkyEcho 2 if you are using a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I wonder why that is; I understand the SkyEcho connects with WiFi rather than BT, but I don't see why that would be a problem. Terry

T Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 8	Hi I got a new SkyEcho2 from uAvionix and had the opportunity to test it yesterday in real! It worked! I have the flarm option for SD and configured the SkyEcho also for Flarm reception and was really happy to have it! Make a long story short: SD told me that I have traffic at 12 o’clock when I was downwind for EDTG. An ultralight started and flew direct after takeoff into the downwind path for EDTG. I was very surprised and because of the silhouette and the terrain I saw it very late just before I was to abort the approach. So happy to have both SD and SE2 :-) Greetings Thomas
