[QUOTE="srcrain, post: 2568, member: 125"] Another frustrating day with the Spark. I do love the Spark when it works, it perfectly fits with my needs. My issue is the inconsistency of it connecting to GPS and it giving a compass error. I tried to recalibrate the compass about 10 times, moving to slightly different locations and the Spark kept giving a calibration error. As a result of this it would not connect to GPS and stayed in ATTI mode. After giving up on the Spark, I powered up the Mavic and it connected to 14 satellites immediately and didn't give and compass error. Has anyone had this problem? Also, is there any reason (hardware or software) for the Spark and Mavic to be so different in terms of GPS connection and compass errors? As I said yesterday, if the Spark doesn't allow for quicker set-up and launch it loses much of its appeal. On a related note, I will never do gesture controls without first connecting to DJI GO 4 to make sure the Spark has GPS, otherwise it could be uncontrollable. [/QUOTE]
