Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue to one that I’m currently struggling with and is only a recent phenomenon in the last few months but cannot put my finger on what might be causing it.
Device is an iPad Mini 5 cellular with built in GPS running the latest IOS running the latest version of SkyDemon.
In summary immediately after takeoff and close to the ground I get very erratic GPS performance which can be seen in the following Skydemon track log. From the track log the altitude is bouncing around quite a bit and the location is equally erratic and a little bit off. It behaves this way when closer to the ground but as I climb it sorts itself out and becomes more accurate.
It’s something I’ve never seen previously and cannot put my finger on what’s happening.
I’ve since purchased a Garmin Glo but haven’t had a chance to test it out. It seems to be confined to my home airfield Elstree and in my specific aircraft, a C172. I’ve tried moving the location of the iPad from lap to yoke with the same result.
Is this something anyone else has experienced and if so am I missing something obvious?
Would appreciate any thoughts
