    Fine to use 2 GPS modules at the same time. Details at http://plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-installing-3dr-ublox-gps-com...

    There is a small jump in the UAV's position when switching GPS, so it probably won't as useful if you're hovering.

    Two GPS should give you better redundancy against GPS glitches when flying

      Hi, I tried flying the drone today but I noticed when the internal gps reports no fix and 0 sats in the HUD and the external has fix why doesn't it displays the external GPS fix and sats count in the HUD if it auto switches?
