GPS too good to be true?

Posted by Edgar Scott on December 20, 2012 at 6:48pm

I noticed that the GPS, latest Mediatek GPS 2 weeks old locks on indoors without delay.

So I took it to the garage and set it between 2 cars and doors closed and still it immediately got lock on?

I find that a little hard to be true?  I have never seen a GPS work like that.

Also I enabled require GPS and still I was able to arm immediately after connecting the batteries.

How is that?

    I think I have the same GPS and I was surprised how fast I can get a lock.

    Locks inside the house as well.

    Outside it doesn't take long to get a lock and I'm using the GPS lock parameter before I can arm.

    I think I pick up about 10 sats or so. I'll have a closer look next time.

    I'm playing/testing Alt Hold, RTL and Loiter.
