Tried the GPS hold in my quad today, and it looks to be working. It will hover within about a 10-15 ft space horizontally and about 6-8 ft vertically.
Will the ublox module provide better accuracy or is a matter of the rate at which the APM is samplin
I hope this hasn't been covered already here. I did some searching, but didn't turn anything up.
I have a gps track formatted in kml (and I could probably massage it into a variety of formats or restructure the kml if needed.)
Basically I would like t
