Wayteq 950

[Eurofighter]

Hello guys!
here is the problem:
I have a V7 powered by a battery. The V7 supplies power to the LX COlibri logger and to the Wayteq 950 PDA running SeeYouMobile. The PDA gets the GPS signal from the Colibri through the V7. It's a very nice setup.
During my last flight the battery died after about 3 hours even if I've charged it 2 days before that flight. The vario went silent, the Colibri stopped logging and the PDA had no more GPS signal. Is there any possibility for the PDA to swap to the internal GPS if the Colibri stops without me having to go through settings and select a different COM port?
Also do you think it is a good idea to use the main battery for the vario also? So far that battery powered the radio only. I would like to keep the weight to a minimum.
Regards,
Eurofighter

Simple axiom - Power comes from fuel used.

You need more battery for all the computing and power regulation
capability. In the end you can chose between battery tecnologies to keep
weight down, but the joules have to be there.

The PDa battery is unlikely to help here.

Oudie/SeeYouMobile switches from external GPS to internal GPS automatically.

I see. Is there something that I need to configure, because mine didn't automatically switch to the internal GPS of the Wayteq.
There is also this: external GPS (Colibri) works on COM4, while the internal one works on COM1 and this is why I think it didn't switch. What do you think?
