I have a rev B stock GPS (black board) and I'm not having any issues, but I was wondering if the cardboard trick could give me any improvement. I have only seen it used on green board solos so far. Thanks
My first bird was also a Rev A. I would have to wait over 3 minutes to get a GPS lock and on some days I wouldn't get a lock at all (10 minutes + waiting). I did the MRO upgrade and it was like night and day. Sat lock within 30 seconds, sometimes by the time the solo had finished booting I'd have a lock straight away. Also did the HERE upgrade and that was even better. I also like the look of the HERE upgrade, kinda looks bitchin! Plus I'm a man, so flashy lights are good....My first Solo has a rev. A GPS module, I have not done any mods to the GPS it locks fairly quickly and I rarely lose a signal. I guess it depends on a few factors such as location, environment, and actually paying attention to the HDOP and number of satellites I never fly with less than 8. I'm not saying I havent lost GPS while flying I have, and that's why i'm versed and profociant flying in manual mode, but that's a whole different subject.
I have the older HERE-GPS/Compass on one of my Solos it is superb a night and day difference from the revision A GPS, It regularly gets 14+ satellites and a very low HDOP, it also makes the Solo look as if it's nailed to the sky while loitering, pretty awesome for the price highly recommended.I do not have a HERE yet.
I'm planning on going Cube+HERE, but that's quite a tough sell to the wifeI have the older HERE-GPS/Compass on one of my Solos it is superb a night and day difference from the revision A GPS, It regularly gets 14+ satellites and a very low HDOP, it also makes the Solo look as if it's nailed to the sky while loitering, pretty awesome for the price highly recommended.
