In comparing the MarcoPolo tracker with the Drone Mods UAV Locator
from what I can gather, advantages of MarcoPolo....
1. Radio wave systems (MarcoPolo) are more accurate than GPS (UAV Locator), the UAV Locator allows you to find it within a range of a few feet up to 150 feet, the MarcoPolo, within several inches.
2. radio wave systems (MarcoPolo) are more reliable than Cellular systems (UAV Locator)
3. MarcoPolo radio transmitter attached to Phantom weighs 12g as opposed to 56grams for the UAV Locator
(how big of a deal is the difference between 12g and 56g on a Vision+ ?
not much difference in price if you add the cost of the required cellular service to the UAV Locator
advantage of the UAV Locator....
1. the range is unlimited, as long as there is cellular service, whereas the MarcoPolo only has a 2 mile range.
So I would like to hear your opinion. Is my summary complete and accurate?
