[QUOTE="Locutus40, post: 80650, member: 13216"] the djo logs the locations of the satellites and uses the gps on board small memory for location saving...it has a small rechargable battery in the gps module that keeps the information... if you dont move your craft much from the potision then it still has most of the info and the lock on time cuts from 30 seconds or 10 for the newer gps modules to just 3 or less... the gps modules that you can get from ebay for fpv drones that use aftermarket flight controllers do the same thing.. so if you dissconnect your drone for say a day or so that battery will fade and loose the lock on that specific location.. or its a month cant remember so power on your fpv drone once a month to charge the battery... the dji does the same thing so if you dont fly for a month youll notice that it takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to lock on.... this is normal... dji lovvvvvvvvvvvvvesss 12 too 13 sats when it only takes 6.. to 9 to have a decent lock... you used to be able to tell it how many but not anymore... dji slowly taking away features that let us control it.. 3dr's mission planner if you google it and look at it it has tons of parameters then again its open sourced or it used to be if you use a old controller....and it did all this dji did back 10 years ago... maybe dji copied them and just packaged it in a nice little box like apple does aka steal ideas and just put them together... lol [/QUOTE]
