Some people have reported the problem, but we're not able to replicate it. There are a number of possible explations:
1) Corrupt EEPROM with all waypoints include home reading 0,0 (easy to check with ground station)
2) Improper field setup. Didn't put jumper on or didn't wait until GPS lock
3) Insufficient PID gains. It's actually trying to navigate but just being blown downwind. (Use manual thottle--connected to RC--to keep speed up while you're testing. You can switch to auto throttle later)
4) Other configuration errors in the EasyStar.h file.
Please download the latest beta code and try walkaround mode on the ground. That should test your navitation. (See readme in that zip file)
