BrianP · Oct 30, 2020

can only get atti mode today... UAV does say no in the Good to Fly column, even tho' the wind is not bad and there are 12 satellites showing in the DJI Go4 app. (Spark)
Anybody else having problems getting GPS in the U.K. ?

Hello Brian. Sometimes I will get only one or two satellites and only ATTI mode. I found that bringing it up 6 meters or so and waiting it finds the sats and comes out of ATTI. I wait till it announces that it has the "home point" and fly. I blame it on some type of interference.

Thank you Dragonfly Joe! Good info! Lots of cloud today and UAV says NO! I will keep testing as I miss my buddy!

Solved, the lack of GPS, by Calibrating IMU and Compass on my Spark.
Big relief but kicking myself I changed two variables at once, so do not know which calibration fixed the problem.
Very relieved to have my buddy back again! Now all I need is for the storm winds to drop...
