I had a Ublox GPS in my first drone... but a nose dive killed my $85 gps =[Is the Media tech GPS a plug and play like the ublox?What am I sacrificing when I buy a Mediatech GPS over the Ublox GPS?thank you
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Should I mount the mediatech GPS outside my aircraft, or inside?
My new drone ive been building was built more for the ublox.. but its so expensive! lol
Im just thinking about where im gona put that big/flat MTK, where my apm is situated, theres a small cabin infront, but idt theres enough room for it, i might need a long gps cable, and mount outside
Yes the mtk gps works out of box, I have never had a problem with it. The ubox has a helical antenna so it can get a better signal when doing aerobatics and through some materials, but in a airplane like your first one a mtk will be perfect. Like i said i use it in my skywalker and it works lovely.
