"Rolf, thank you very much for fixing the code. The coordinates now work for me! (Toronto, Canada). The speed still displays 0 (SPD 0), but the coordinates were far more important for me (for quad recovery in case of a fly away)."

Most of the functions work well, and I find them very useful. There seem to be a few problems however.
1) GPS speed always shows 0 for some reason
2) GPS coordinates seem to be wrong. In particular my…"

"Hi Rolf,
I followed your instructions, but always get errors compiling. I have also tried adding the AP_HAL and GCS_MAVLink libraries manually into the libraries folder and including it. Always get errors, such as
