Xrover said:I'm thinking the P2 Platform was designed with a basic GPS/Compass system that possibly does not have a sophisticated enough design to allow software or firmware corrections required.
My guess is the next Gen Phantom will have a redesigned Compass and GPS.
But the Phantom does have the software to make the corrections. It makes the exact corrections required in the first 7 minutes of every flight. It just doesn't save that information in non-volatile memory to use the next time it's powered on.
This thread wouldn't exist if it did that simple thing. I think it's ridiculous that the Phantom can keep you from flying near hundreds of airports around the world by keeping the locations in flash memory, but can't spare a few bytes of memory to remember how it sync'd the compass and GPS the last time it flew.
