[QUOTE="Dronason, post: 53295, member: 553"] The small "radar" icon on the GO4 app should show you in which direction where your spark is. That's useful to point RC antennas in the right direction and check for any low ground air space traffic / birds in the right direction. The app will rotate the radar screen according to its compass indication and the drone direction will be defined by what the drone compass report to the app. App plot where it expect to be the North as a "N" and plot the Spark attitude accordingly to that North position. You will notice that if you rotate your device, the Spark indication will also rotate. Also in this "radar" view it show you a kind of indication of how much power the Spark is giving to the motor front to rear and left to right. It is from the accelerometer sensor and in flight it is a great indication if you are fighting side or front/back wind. It is fare from a gadget but having a compass in the device is not affecting that functionality. That's where a simple set of pictures with annotation would be a lot better but for whatever reason my phone seems not to like the hotel wifi where I am currently. [/QUOTE]
