    Tablet Question

    I have an LG G Pad on the Verizon Network (I am in Chicago suburbs) it is the 8 inch and has 4G LTE / cellular option. The actual model is the LG-VK815. You can probably pick one up off ebay or similar sites for under $100. I only pay $20 a month for unlimited data. It it great for the Solo...

    Solex defaults to Australia

    Even though it is set to Australia I have not seen any performance issues, everything seems to be working as it should. My thought however is the option is there for a reason and as I start to explore additional functionality within the app (Orbit, follow me, etc) I can't help to think this...

    Solex defaults to Australia

    Hello all - First off, amazing site board! I have learned a lot and still have much more to go. I went ahead and got the Solex app, it is awesome. As I have been playing around with the settings more I came across one I can't find any information on. While connected to Solo under Vehicle...

    Any Good Alternative Backpacks for Solo?

    I have the Lowepro DroneGuard CS 400 Backpack. Tons of room and I think it works great.

    Upgraded mRo GPS. Only 2-5 satellites.

    I would re-visit the installation. When I installed mine I booted up and had a dozen sats in less then a minute and this is in a suburbs of Chicago with obstructions everywhere.

    mRo GPS upgrade is definitely worth it!

    I bought mine here - mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N / 3DR SOLO Upgrade (New). Arrived in just a couple days. There are several you tube tutorials on how to install it. No special tools needed, just a small philips screwdriver and 15 minute of your day.

    mRo GPS upgrade is definitely worth it!

    Could not agree more. In the suburbs of Chicago I could get 8-12 Sats at the most. Bought the new board ($40) took literally 10 minutes to swap it out and I lock on 8 in less then a minute and in flight easily have 20+. I would absolutely recommend this upgrade.

    GPS upgrade.

    Here in the US. (Chicago to be exact) The upgrade was the best $40 USD I spent. With the stock set up GPS lock would take 3-5 minutes to get 7 SATs. Once I was in the air I may get as many as 12. After this plug and play install which literally took me 10 minutes to do, GPS lock is under a...
