I was wondering if there are known cases of amateur UAV's which have LORAN-C navigation rather than GPS or in combination with GPS.
Thanks for any info, i am interested in accuracy, bandwidth, computational complexity and last but not least, indoor o

i thought i might do a post on some feature that most people may not know about. so here goes.

I've just uploaded the latest version of the APM code to my APM from the latest APM Planner to date (1.0.63). I then went to CLI mode to test the compass. Alas! Compass was not intialized! On my previous code (2.21), my compass was st
