V10.3. Connected to IFD540.  GPS Green on 540 yellow on 100.  No position shown on iPad. COM and NAV Frequencies show on IFD 100.  Map stays centered on Bedford, MA.  Databases are the same.  No route shows on 100 screen presumably because there is no position information.  Any ideas where the problem may lie?

Did you set the device to "Always" on the Setup Page?

Yes.  The IFD 100 is communicating with the IFD540.  Frequencies are mirroring but there is no GPS position coming from the 540

Are you using the AviOS 10.3 version of the IFD100 now that your panel mounted IFD was upgraded to AviOS 10.3?

Did you set IFD100 up for an IFD540 in the app settings?

It worked flawlessly today.  Sorry for the bother.

I saw this yesterday on both the IFD100 app (iPadPro) and my DroidEFB (Android phone) -->> No GPS data from the IFD540.
