I have an iPad4 (no internal GPS) with the GNS1000 external GPS.
It just won't work, the aeroplane symbol is yellow for a few seconds, then red.
I've tried turning location service off and on, and resetting the location.
I've also power cycled my iPad.
I have the latest version of IOS.
The GNS1000 has GPS lock and Bluetooth communication with the iPad.
I've tried resetting the GNS1000.
Nothing works - has anyone else solved this problem?

Regards,
Terry

Hi Hannah,

Just for the record, can you respond as to what each of the the respective accuracies on the 'ALT' button triangle colour are ?

According to the current documentation on the instruments here :

Green is +- 50'
Yellow is +- 100'
Orange is +- 200'
Red is greater than 200' of inaccuracy.

So what does this mean (blue) ?

Thanks - Jon.

Thanks Hannah, I have just reset my network settings and it didn't solve the problem, however, reseting the network settings doesn't get rid of the bluetooth link with my GPS so, after telling the ipad to 'forget the link' and then re-pairing the ipad and gps it worked.

I have booted up , opened Skydemon and shutdown 5 times now and it only failed to work on the 3rd occassion, but that was probably just being temprimental.

I still have the blue triangle though and still no idea what it means!!

I have also been having this problem on my iPad3. Switching the iPad off and then on again seems to have solved it although I haven't flown since trying that fix.

In common with others, I also have the blue triangle. It would be really good to have an answer to the question of what this means. It has been asked a few times now so could I politely ask for an answer soon.

Thanks.

I had a very short flight today and I also had problems with a gps signal. I have already reset my network settings and though tthe problem was cured, but it isn't. Strange thing, all my plates have disappered as well. Because I was in the right seat, I did a hard turnoff and got the signal back.

I take it all back, I've just got home, started it up four times in a row and everything is working ok, including the plates.

No idea whats going on, but definitely a problem earlier today, gremlins!!

                                 That certainly works, but why ? What have Apple done to mess it up.
