Meta, until you have any idea what you are talking why don't you fade away. Not the slightest bit interest in your more of your illinformed comments.

Hi Falcon900, Your right, my bad, the coverage also has to do with your particular provider. Have been involved with GPS for 25 years in the marine, air,land and rescue fields I just might have a slight understanding of the GPS system. Lack of signals here is why I spent a lot of time learning...

Hi KennyJr, thank you. I used to have a sat phone in the Kimberlies of West Australian and there are numerous areas where Sat signals where only available at certain times. As for why we only get down to no signals here has got me puzzled. It is a flat area and no real mountains. There is...

Meta, and you have been all over the world to test this theory have you. When you do then maybe you can make an informed comment. Why do you think that DJI themselves inform you that you require at least 6 GPS signals to use their drones.

It really looks like a lot of you know lot about GPS NOT. Do some research before you give out wrong information. I have nothing further to say.

No I don't live under ground,you need to get world wise. There are a lot places where GPS coverage is limited. As for dji, I am not a clone or a lemming as some people appear to be. As usual ask for help and get a smart reply. No further comment.

Hi, I have just recently acquired a p3 advanced and hope for some advice. Before I start I would prefer to have nothing to do with the dji conglomerate. All I want to do is to fly and occasionally take a video or photo. The manual says get dji go which I did but it keeps asking me to register...

The usual reaction to these things are punish everyone not the individual. I was at a festival in town recently and I observed a guy using a phantom. He would have at times been 5 to 10 metres above people. And at one stage was tracking a young girl on a bike who was very concerned about it. I...

I live in Australia and been flying ,recovering and fixing drones for nearly a year. We don't have a lot of issues happening here YET but it is coming. Nearly every store now sells drones. Little johnny gets a wizebang p4 for his birthday, goes home set things up and away he goes, show everyone...

I now have 10 different drones, big part of my interest besides flying them is recovering and fixing drones. One thing is constant. Props spinning of. As a matter of practice now I tighten down the props before each flight day and especially after a bad landing.

Hi Ben, unfortunely there are a great many people in Aussie that think they have the unalienable right that their way is the only way. I travell a lot and have run into the so called grey nomad brigade who are experts at it. I have been hooked on drones recently so I am looking forward to some...

Hi, I learnt to fly my drones before I started using all the new fangled stuff. Why because I live in a known windy coast and not very good GPS reception? A lot of things with wind depends on the terrain which can cause up drafts, down drafts, bullets and so on. At Christmas a young fellow was...

Hi static8, look how easy is it to inform people about something out of norm. I go and let people know that a lot of my flights are flying only no photos involved. I have had a lot of requests to take photos of peoples homes especially with regards checking fire hazards. Believe me it was a...

Hi, ok I know this site is mostly Americian and I am an Aussie flyer. But why is it necessary to fly above 100 meters? I have no issues when I fly. I live in a rural area, I rarely fly out of sight or above 50 mtrs. Always early in the morning( less wind) and I learnt how to fly because I don't...

Hi, I live in Australia and so far drones are not a big issue here yet but the actions of some idiots may change that. I read a lot of the comments and I have the following observation. Is there anyone that can tell me that you have complete control over their drones at all times??Young fellow...
