only the Android version of the App has an Exit button. Apple don't allow us to have one.

Quite right too. It's pointless

Still no joy getting it working with SkyEcho. Shame

Rather than complaining, I'm congratulating them on a brilliant bit of software.

Works well with my PilotAware, much better than the "radar" screens that are out there, and FREE !!

My passengers can now simply download this onto their phones/tablets and have their own moving map, with traffic (if they have a PilotAware that is) on their knee.

to the developers.

Do SkyEcho publish any settings that they recommend?

Can you advise what settings you are using? Unfortunately, I don't have access to one of these units but will certainly help where possible.

Where are you based? Maybe able to arrange to meet up if South East. Planning to visit Headcorn, Redhill & North Weald tomorrow (10/6) if any good to you.

Does the Sky Echo use the same IP address as Stratux? 192.168.10.1 IIRC?

I suspect EasyVFR Basic looks at 192.168.1.1 only.

No, sorry, just looked, you can set the IP address on EasyVFR Basic. Disregard.

Off to Old Warden this weekend to fly SkyEcho on a number of Moths. Will have to stick with SkyDemon for the time being. Thanks anyway.

Working to get a SkyEcho to the developers for testing and integration.

Looks good, I'm not getting the option to open .gpx files in EVFR on either my Samsung S5 phone or Nexus tablet, what am I doing wrong?

Why are you having to stick with one vendor, rather than publishing clear specifications that can be linked to by any vendor?

[uAvionix-Ramsey]

SkyEcho uses a standard GDL 90 interface. Should be compatible for all vendors. Not intentional to be vendor specific. Investigating.

I am a user not a publisher of specifications. Just hoped to try Airspace Avoid with a SkyEcho.

u-Avionix are getting a unit shipped to our developers so that we can then publish full connectivity instructions.

In the meantime, we think that it should be as straightforward as connecting via WiFi and setting the GDL90 settings to UDP with Port 4000. Please also make sure that on the FLARM Settings page, Use FLARM is OFF (no green bar lit).

We will get the settings released ASAP.

Hi roweda.
Like BobM a few posts up, I can't load a .gpx file. I have a couple which were generated in another program and saved in a folder on my micro SD card. I don't have any sort of 'Dropbox' that is shown in the tutorial here: http://www.pocketfms.com//EasyVFRBasicU ... erTips.asp
When I click on the file, I get an 'Open file failed' message.
I conclude that the files may somehow be corrupt or incomplete in some way or perhaps I need a Dropbox. Can you offer any other tips to get a file to open please?

I'm getting this issue with my ASUS Tablet (Android 4.2.2). As above tapping the file gets the 'Open file failed' message. EVFR Basic also does not appear in the list of shared programs in file manager.
However it works OK on my Motorola phone (Android 6.0)

Unfortunately, it seems like certain variants of Android operating system don't support the file association to allow EasyVFR basic to open a GPX file directly from say, an email. Dropbox can be installed free of charge and will then enable you to open a GPX file as detailed in the tutorial you reference above.

The next release of EasyVFR basic should include a Wifi Flightplan option allowing a colleague with a a full version of EasyVFR to transfer the GPX file to you by WiFi providing you are connected to the same network, e.g. your Flying Club.
