GPS Features

The microdrone has many amazing features but one of the most important and influential features is its GPS cap.

The GPS cap provides the Microdrone with the ability to position hold without any controller input. Unlike other systems out there that requires you to manually switch the GPS function on and off using a separate switch on the TX. The Microdrone has its GPS active all the time and as soon as you let go of the transmitter sticks it instantaneously actives GPS hold.

The GPS hold feature on the microdrone has now been updated. The Microdrone system now uses a special technology called dynamic position hold DPH.  This allows you to manipulate the machine in any direction you want without having to account for the wind and its direction. The Microdrone will automatically account for the wind and allow you to fly the drone as if it were in still conditions.  The GPS position hold feature is still active and can maintain ground position hold when manual control is deactivated.   Please see the video below.

Using the Way Point program and the GPS cap together will allow you to plan and fly completely autonomous predetermined flight paths.  See WayPoint editor page

For beginner pilots the GPS provides you with the ability to learn how to fly with great ease. Most people can learn to fly the microdrone by themselves within 1 day. When learning to fly you will at some point get confused or flustered and not know what to do to correct the Microdrone . Simple just let go of the controls and the Microdrone will take over using its GPS and go into position hold. The drone will not move from this position until you are ready to take manual control again.   

This makes training and flying the Microdrone extremely easy and very safe.

The GPS system can track up to 14 satellites simultaneously and have a GPS accuracy as low as 1 meter. To give you idea how accurate this is see the following video
