[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 78717, member: 10850"] I usually see GPS Mode enabled at 9-10 satellites within a minute of powering up if open view of the sky. During flight I often get up to 17-18 visible. Technically you only need 4 satellites to plot your position on the earth plus altitude. But DJI requires several extra to account for interference and environmental factors. I won't take off until I see at least 11 satellites and confirm Home Point is set. And then I check it on the map to be certain it is correct. Then hover at 25-30 feet to make sure VPS camera has a visual lock on Home Point as well. [/QUOTE]
