Eran,
Great site, good work!
Some issues/recommendations:
1. Saw a map error. The location of the path over the satellite map was offset by about 20 meters. It was correct on the regular map. Could be google as it did not happen in all uploads.
2. You are considering 11 gps satellites or below to be poor. We used to fly P2V+ with 6 satellites. Maybe the range needs to be reevaluated. It is true that with GLONASS added, 11 would be the equivalent of one of the systems having 5 or less, but this is why we have 2 GPS systems now. I believe that we should use: less than 6 is critical; 6-8 is poor; 9-11 is fair; 12-15 good; 16+ excellent
3. A note exists about battery flight time, that it does not take into consideration winds and hence could be lower, but the opposite is also true. My battery shows more than 28 minutes because it was subject to strong winds in ATTI mode. Same about miles per battery. My numbers are close to zero because I do a lot of hovering. In other words the data is interesting but could be misinterpreted. Maybe more explanations are needed or could be recalculated without hover times and without winds ? Tough...
Keep up the good work!
