Remember that with FPV it's not going to be Line of sight anymore, and the range will be drastically reduced for instance if you go behind a building. That's what makes me nervous, with FPV you are going into nooks and crannies that will affect your range. Line of sight is the easiest to do...

I'm very careful to let it sit until I get only the green single flash mode, indicating an optimal GPS lock. I'll test again today paying more attention to the rapid greens. I believe last time I tried FS , the home lock mode *was* working as expected, indication a good home position. Have you...

I also set the FS mode for the right hand switch via pull down menu . I tested it, with the quad hovering about 20 meters away, and it did not do anything. In fact, I could still control it with the sticks. Is there a LED light mode that indicates it is in fail safe mode? I'm too chicken to try...

Well, I ordered one so I'll find out soon. As far as mounting it to the quad, I think having it stuck to the side might be good. This way the GPS antenna faces more towards the sky ( pointing down is the worst , is it not ? ) and after a fly away, there is more chance that it will still be...

no that really doesn't help. let me rephrase To better help you grasp what I'm asking: suppose after a crash I ask it where it is. But it no longer has a GPS receiver signal. How old is the last GPS fix it has? Is it the one it had last time it send something to the cell tower, or is it...

I'm really asking more of an internal working question. Say I have it set to report to the cell tower once every 15 minutes. Does the garmin internally sample gps location more often, thereby keeping itself more up to date in the event it looses Gps minutes after last report to the cell...

I have a hypothetical question concerning this Garmin GTU 10 GPS: Suppose I'm flying along and the Phantom crashes upside down, no longer able to see GPS sats. When I inquire about its position with the smartphone how accurate is it's last known position? In other words how frequently is it...
