Alert - Pending GPS Satellites update April 6, 2019

[Tom Bennett]

Be aware that the next update to the GPS satellite system will occur on April 6, 2019. I have sent a query to DJI support asking advice as well as potential; need for updating MPP or Spark, need for updating Crystalsky, and need for updating the Go and Go4 apps. Hopefully they will reply.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

I cant imagine how a counter resetting back to zero will affect the accuracy of data. If for some reason it does, I expect from manufactures of product I own with GPS to warn me of a potential risk using there product or an announcement of pending interruption of service. A lot of businesses rely on GPS. I assume they want the same thing.

There are no DJI hardware modules that will be affected.
The issue will only occur on very old GPS chipsets of which DJI didn't exist when they were manufactured.

It is a total non issue.

Tom...thanks for the heads up.

But yeah, if that was a safety issue, every airliner, and millions and millions of other users would have to ground themselves that day...and that ain't happening.
