Hi,
I'm afraid I'm a bit out of date with the latest situation - I was an early tester but things have moved on since then! I used to use PilotAware with an iPad using the CollisionAware app which, I believe, passed the GPS location from the iPad's built-in receiver to PAW. I know there is now the ability to use a USB GPS receiver on PAW, but have a few questions:
- Is a USB GPS receiver required or optional?
- If used, does it only provide a GPS fix to PAW or does it effectively also replace the GPS receiver in the iPad for use with navigation apps such as SkyDemon?
- If the PAW GPS replaces the iPad receiver, can this behaviour be changed so the iPad continues to use its own GPS and PAW uses the USB receiver? I have no problems with the reliability of the iPad GPS, and would be concerned that lots of things could cause the PAW GPS to drop out in-flight resulting in loss of navigation as well as PAW functionality (flat PAW battery, wifi link failure, something falling out of a USB port, etc!)
Many thanks,
Tim
Thanks,
