    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Yes, NAZA and IOC enabled. I tried switching back to Phantom mode once and still had the same GPS issues, but then switched back to NAZA. I can't say with 100% certainty, but I do not think I got the rapid greens to indicate course...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Haha, never fails! When was the last time it was powered on prior to doing this? if somewhat recently, that may be the reason. Or perhaps you have a different issue. I agree, intermittent issues are more frustrating! I'm not...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA To confirm the same issue, take yours outside and power on for 15 mins. If still at zero satellites, power off and back on and see if you pick up sats and let me know. I saw where you mentioned in the other thread that it normally...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA This is what I would consider "normal" operation. The issue that I have is my Phantom WILL NOT pick up ANY satellites unless I power it on for 15+ minutes AND THEN power cycle the Phantom. This is the only way I will pick up sats...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Thanks N017RW. I saw your previous post in this thread about the supercap but mistakenly thought you were talking about a different component. The reason I asked for someone else to verify voltage is because I am not convinced that...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Also, if anyone has their P2 opened up, would you mind taking a voltage measurement across the GPS module battery after the unit has been powered off for more than a few hours and let me know what it measures?

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Had to send it back in, but DJI did provide a prepaid shipping label and ordered an escalated RMA, supposed to be a 7 day turnaround or something along those lines. Package was delivered to them on Friday so I should know more this...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA So after testing more last night and this morning, I can now say with 100% certainty that if the P2 has been powered off for more than 20 mins, that I must power on the P2 for at least 10 mins (0 sats at this point and will stay at 0...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Agreed with replacing the battery but I'm going to save that as a last resort, it seems to be a fairly rigid piece holding it in. I tried to gently pry it a few days ago and it didn't seem close to budging. I don't want to risk...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Don't think I'm back to normal yet. As far as I can tell thus far, in order to fly with GPS lock (I won't fly without), I need to power my P2 on for 15-20 mins before I want to fly in order to charge the GPS module battery (still...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA I think you may be on to something here Bill. I powered the P2 on inside my house for 15 mins with the intent of charging the GPS module battery. Powered it off, set it outside in the backyard, and powered back on. Checked my FPV...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA This part I understand...my question is more simplistic. Shouldn't the battery maintain its charge when power supply to the GPS module is terminated (i.e. Phantom powered off)? The battery on my GPS module is draining to 0 volts in...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA I have verified that there are satellites in the sky directly above with phone app while I have the p2 outside waiting for satellites. Back to the GPS module, I'm not all that familiar on how they are supposed to operate....is the...

    Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDATE)

    Re: Issues w/ GPS, takes up to 20 mins to pick up sats (UPDA Haven't tried a new location yet but agree that I need to. May be getting a bit ahead of myself until im able to check. Overtime, sick 2 yr old, 8 month pregnant wife, bathroom remodel, house painting and cold weather have limited my...
