Hi,
Has there been any plans made to support the Windows 8 location services as a source of GPS data in Sky Demon? I have a Win 8 tablet and would like to use it without having to buy an external GPS sensor.

We don't have a lot of demand for this, as our PC software isn't anywhere near as full-featured as our iOS/Android software when it comes to navigating. Having said that, if demand went up a bit, we would do the work to make SkyDemon Plan work with Windows Location Services.

Let's put it like this: Just got SD in trial on my Surface II, and I'm quite disappointed that I'd need another external device for flight. Any support for my Lumia? No, I guess... Hmm, looks like you won't get me as a customer.

Personally, I'd just buy a cheap Android device for in flight use. The navigation element of the Windows desktop software is nowhere near as fully featured as the iOS and Android versions (it's effectively the same as that which runs on the WinCE devices).

Your surface will make a great device for planning on, you can then just transfer it to the cloud and re-open on the Android device for in-flight use.

If you're in the UK, the Tesco Hudl 2 works OK and can be had for £99 or £50 worth of Clubcard vouchers.
