Turning off Visual Positioning System

Spaz · May 10, 2015

Can you stay in GPS mode and turn off VPS (Visual Positioning System) at the same time?

Does it stay off or do you need to kill each time you power up?

Yes .. thanks bb.
My P3 has been delayed so I still can't open up some of the app options myself.

Where can I find the VPS enable buttons on .18 firmware?

They don't appear in the "advanced' menu on .18.

Would the P3 actually fly better indoor with VPS turned off? I think its having troubles with my carpet and throw rug, it tends to wander off even though vps is turned on and i get 14 sats locked in gps.

Wondering that myself. I fired up the Phantom indoors to check some settings and was amazed that I had many satellites locked on.

The P3 would actually fly better indoors with the VPS turned on... since it reads the ground level surface at low altitude.
