I recently bought a new wifi 10.7 iPad running iOS 12.1 to replace a cellular iPad that bit the dust.  I also purchased Dual XGPS150A for the gps signal.    The iFly version is 10.3.52.  I can not get a gps signal on the new iPad. The SkyPro gps app shows a great signal.

I also have an older WiFi iPad running ios10.3.3 and the Dual GPS works perfectly.  Any suggestions?  Any one else have issues?

Here is an update.  I just loaded a trial version of ForeFlight on my new iPad and the GPS connection works perfectly.  So the is an obvious problem with the current version of IFY and IOS 12.1

But it's not a problem when using Stratux.  Do you connect via WIFI or Bluetooth.  Do you have it set on the proper one?

The DualXGPS150A is a blue tooth device.  That is the only way it connects.  What GPS does the Stratus use?  The stratux(pi) version with gps works as well tested by a friend with the same iPad configuration. My choice was to not upgrade my current pi with gps ang go with a stand alone bluetooth.  Again, it works jus fine on my older iPad.

I use a Stratux, not Stratus.
