GPS Problem? Went outside to try to fly around my house, but I could not get the bird to flash green. My iPhone had the GPS signal either greyed out or it went up to a max of six and then went back to grey. Does it just show grey when you have less than six or is something wrong with my new bird? We have lots of big trees all around the property, but my portable gps in my car can usually pick up signals. When I went to the ground station part of the app it was only showing 3 signals and briefly 4 signals. I guess I will never be able to fly at my house?
I'm uploading a video now taken just for such a topic. I will link to it as soon as it's done processing. It is completely un-edited and about 5 minutes long. The take-off consists of me elevating and rotating at the same time to show the density of the trees. Meanwhile, I've included a picture of where I flew from, looking straight down. I have flown from this property about 3 times, each time I was able to get at least 6 sats. I will not launch without at least 6 and usually wait a couple minutes for 7 or more. I do remember that once I got above the trees I had 8 satellites locked.
