"I also was not able to get a GPS lock unless it was plugged into the UBS. I had my gps line ziptied next to my servo wires. I cut the ziptie and gave the gps line a little room and it solved my issue."

Jonathan M replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"Personally, I think Loiter has improved, but I am getting random cut outs.
