  • 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.

    • Thanks Im gonna try flying with 2 gps now and see if it flies fine

  • 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? 

    • Thanks Bro
