Today when flying with my iPad mini and Dual external GPS it would not show the miniature airplane on the moving map in Foreflight. When I got home, I updated the iPad to latest iOS version and ran the Dual GPS utility which showed the satellites. I found there is an issue with Apple iOS 8.0 and the Dual GPS. Has anyone else had a similar issue ?
 
There was a problem with most of the external GPS units and iOS 8.0 but it was fixed in a later release of iOS 8.

No problems that I know of since then. What iOS are you running?
 
There is an option in settings to "show airplane" maybe it got turned off? I had an issue one time where I was using my phone as a hot spot for the iPad. I never shut it off when I got in the plane so the iPad stayed connected to my phone instead of connecting to the stratas I'm not sure how the dual GPS connects so that may be a non issue for you.
 
There was a known issue with IOS 8.3 and external GPS units that used Bluetooth. It was corrected in IOS 8.4 that came out at the end of June.
