I'll deal with that situation once I am safe on the ground. ;)

Personally, after 10yrs experience with SkyView, I would not hesitate to use it to do a non precision approach in an emergency.

From one really obnoxious old curmudgeon to another, WELL SAID!!! 🙃

Hmmm... there is no "an emergency has been declared" in the OP, which is the only mandatory action in this case but OK. Nobody has an idea of how they will react during an emergency until they are actually in it. I know first hand. I also have no idea of his level of knowledge, experience or...

"My question is if you had equipment failure in IMC and had to somehow get down through it with just SkyView and whatever else you'd typically have with you." Again the only correct answer is: Declare an emergency then use the phone/tablet/Skyview or whatever you have available to land safely...

NONE OF THE ABOVE! If you have an actual VOR or VOR with GS receiver (NOT Skyview or phone) then you use that as your navigation source and shoot an appropriate approach. If you don't have a separate VOR receiver, you declare an emergency and coordinate with ATC for your best option which will...

I did an in-flight compass calibration a few months ago and it worked just fine.

The question was asked and answered so condescending comments, after the fact, are uncalled for. 🙃

THANKS!!! I updated my software to V16.0.1 a few months ago so this makes sense.

This symbol started showing up on my SkyView Map page and I can't find what it means. 🤔 I hope it doesn't mean I have been cleared to land on Saturn. 🙃

Where are you located?

FWIW, I ran all my RF cables (Coax) along one side of the fuselage while the low voltage wires (Signals) along the other side. The other thing you should be vigilant is to make sure all ground connections are correct. I have a fiberglass airplane (KIS-4) so proper grounding is even more critical...

Everything in aviation is a compromise. Nothing is free. ;)

Put a DB9 connector then use a DB9 Splitter so you can connect two devices. They come in both Male to Female/Female and Female to Male/Male.

If both your altitude reading and wind component are wrong then your problem is more than likely in your static system. I had this exact problem when I first installed my SkyView system back in 2013. Not only did it affect my altitude and wind direction, it also affected my airspeed indication...

I almost forgot, this will also happen if the static line inside the fuselage has a leak or has come off. The air pressure inside the airplane is lower than outside so it will give the same problems as a static port in the wrong place. IOW it will affect your altimeter indication, IAS...

This is a common problem if your static port is in an area of low pressure so check the installation of your static source. It will also adversely affect your altimeter indication, IAS indication, TAS calculations as well as calculated wind speed and wind direction. You can read how I found and...

Either that or get an 12v LED bulb which has the appropriate resistor built in so none is needed. I used this one for my installation. But it was so bright I had to put a some white translucent tape on it to bring the intensity down to where I wanted it. YMMV

Yes, make sure your engine is well grounded to the airframe with a ground strap. The Dynon EMS must also have a good ground connection. But you need to connect the Kavlico oil sensor ground wire to one of the Dynon EMS ground pins, not to the engine or airframe. This way you avoid ground loops...

Sounds like a wiring connection issue. A wire to the sensor breaking contact with engine vibrations. Check the crimp and don't ask how I know. ;)
