I got a new Nexus 9 for Christmas to replace my 5 year old Nexus 7 but it never sees the GPS signal. I confirmed with a GPS test app that the GPS is picking up satelites see pics but the app does not. The iFly GPS was the only app I downloaded untill it didnt work and I downloaded the GPS test app to confirm the GPS was working.
I have been using the app on my old nexus for several years and not ever had any issues and it always kept a good signal. Not sure what's going on here.

Thanks,
Chris

update:

I installed Droid EFB and it sees the satellites with no problem. The iFly GPS app still no dice :-(

Not famliar with the N9 platform, but perhaps iFlyGPS is configured to get GPS information from the ADS-B instead of the internal GPS, and ADS-B is either not connected or unavailable for some reason?  Just a WAG... sad

The Nexus 9 is just the larger version of the Nexus 7 that I have been using for years. They both have built in GPS and iFly GPS gets a satellite lock just fine on the 7 without a ADSB unit. Maybe I can be given a older version of iFly to try and see if it works since this current version is not. Not sure how I would get that though.

Hoping a iFly support person will repond soon.

Cheers,
Chris

AP is usually pretty quiet around holidays.  I'm sure you'll hear someting within the next few days.
