"I haven't been able to geotag images for a while, on 3.2 or 3.3. I can't even find any cam_trigg messages in the log. I managed to tag in Mission Planner once recently using time difference but it came out a bit odd (registered all the photo's as a…"

"Mine's from Drotek too, I have both the normal size and the XL, although I'm yet to finish my build using the XL. I'd read that the 8 series were sensitive so I've done the whole, copper shielding and earthing. Done the same as you by manually…"

"I've had very good results with the M8N on both a copter (3.3 rc5) and a fixed wing (3.3.0). My quad loiters with (at max) a 50cm drift in any direction. 
I have experienced the drift you describe above, but only when I've been inside or amongst…"

"Righto cheers. Yeah, bit of confusion on my part as I thought this was a function we'd used last year on a different set up that allowed FBWA input when the aircraft was in Auto and not that it overrides Auto...yep, always RTFM.

Thanks again. "

"Hey folks, back again to pester for some advice.

"Grant, thank you!

I've just read through the wiki and it makes perfect sense, I can see why my fence polygon points weren't being recorded in MP now.

Thanks again, Leon."

"Does anyone know if the geofence function is broken in Arduplane 3.3? I'm using Mission Planner and have also tried APM 2.0 but neither of these seem to let me set a geofence. I can set a rally point, define a separate polygon, but can't then…"

"Do you want any of us other users to post logs for comparison? Or just if we're noticing something strange?"

"If it's of any use; my quad has pretty low vibes...circa 0.5-1 and I'm still on RC5...I can flash RC7 tomorrow morning and do a quick loiter and upload both an RC5 and RC7 log?"
