"John is correct, and the unit will reset to its defaults when power is removed. The command will have to be sent to the unit after each power up. Wait a half second or so to ensure the GPS is booted and in the mood to receive commands. "

"Check http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/gps-position-hold-in-quadcopter. ; It has a string to set it to 0.2 m/s.  I used it and it worked."

Nav Speed Threshold for the MT3329 GPS unit

With my recent (November 2011) purchase of the MT3329 GPS receiver from DIY Drones, it may have the Nav Speed Threshold set so that the positional information is not updated if the unit is not moving.  In other online discussions (for example, SparkFun), it appears that this threshold can be set or turned off with a $PMTK command (397).  But this command is not listed in the PMT commands referred to on the DYI site.  Will the unit I got from you accept this command?  Is it ON by default?See More
