I have a
Phantom 4 Pro and I took it last August on the Thelon River in the Barren Grounds of the Northwest Territories. I was at about 62 - 63 degrees north for the 2 weeks and about 103 degrees west. I fly the Phantom several times and it always behaved the same way. It would start up fine, it would acquire A LOT of satellite as the terrain has no relief there and it would take off ok. But soon after, maybe a minute or two, it would still show that it was connected to, say, 15 satellite, bu the signal would drop off to almost nothing and the drone was no longer GPS positioned. This gets very scary when you are used to flying without having LOS. Also, winds cause considerable drift and the magnetic compas gets a little squirrely. This was very disappointing as I wanted to fly out several kilometres to look for game, such as caribou and muskox but that was not to be. The low relief theoretically should allow you to fly far out with te signal being blocked by anyway so you can keep your altitude low. Not to many places in the world where you can do that.I would love to have a solution to this. How do you increase the gain of the on-board GPS antennae, through software or hardware??
