I brought along an iPad to try out the IFD100 app, I had my normal tablet connected to the IFD440 (Samsung Android running Avare) and was receiving a GPS position along with the ADS-B data flow.

As soon as I connected the IFD100 to the GPS my Samsung tablet lost the GPS position (probably the complete ADS-B stream too). The Samsung did NOT lose the WiFi connection.

I normally fly with 2 Android tablets and my cell phone, all three have Avare loaded, I do not remember if they are connecting automatically to the GPS when it sees its WiFi signal, but I did have them with me on the flight.

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks, Jeff
