Remember that reviews are subjective. Don't rely on one person’s opinion - watch multiple 'reviews' and make your own mind up. Unlike some, I don't do this to replace a day job as that makes the creative decisions all about 'getting paid'. I am free to be completely honest and clear in the videos I make. I’m not asking vendors to pay for these videos, so opinions are mine alone.

0:33 It's like the two props are attached to each other...
RC magic!!
My biggest issue with GPSs mounted like that is not the GPS itself but the magnetometer. I have been moving the GPS opposite to the battery cables to help with this issue. Another pet peeve of mine is that those small GPSs with magnetometers don't show where it should be pointing, you have to search for the information or look at the magnetometer chip itself to figure it out.
See my video on compass alignment. It isn't too tricky if you follow the process. Most of the popular GPS and Compass units have the default orientation now so work with the defaults... Happy flying
Fantastic tips, Lee! Thanks a bunch! 😃
Very helpful!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for the tips!
I have a question specifically for fixed wing foam planes and GPS. Do you think that foam is blocking the GPS signal or make it work sub optimally? That said, is it ok to put the GPS in the battery bay of a foam fixed wing plane?
Cheers!
I've mounted a GPS under thin layers of foam, tape and plastic and not noticed any loss of performance.. Happy flying!
Write the specs and wiring diagram on a small paper to foldup and bag with your parts you keep .parts like gps , buc converters voltage regulators , camera switches, rx , buzzers , vtx's
I configured mine with gps and compass but since i heard in 7.1 you can use only gps, I unselected the compass and that took away the Nav modes.
How do I set the GPS only for nav modes
Covered in the release notes...
Currently, if you wish to fly a multirotor without a compass. You will need to enable a compass (fake is ok) to change navigational modes in Configurator. You should disable the compass after making the changes. This has been fixed for a future release.
I have already seen GPS mounted upside down with the antenna facing the ground!😀
Not seen that here, yet. Hopefully, those following my builds on this channel are seeing how it is done.... Happy flying
Ive got a quad /gps that works fine in BF but when i converted it over to iNav it doesnt read the gps at all. I even loaded BF back on and it still works in BF but no go with iNav. Yes I have the uart set the same as BF and I do have GPS enabled in the Configuration tab. Any suggestions?
What GPS is it? Ask in inav discrod also
You don't mention the GPS type... INAV stopped supporting NMEA compass protocol recently so you'll have to check the one you have supports GNSS... Happy flying
@@Painless360 Thanks so much for responding. It is a brand new M10 GPS and compass. The compass is working without issue. i think it is foxeer.
