anyway to have gopro to use these coords? last time i've read about solo is that 3dr was working closely with gopro to enable camera control from their app, would've been super useful to use solo's (rtk corrected) gps coords in exif via the same link.

Also, is there a way to send correction via the same mavlink? it would be nice to run rtk client on FC or a companion to utilize the existing link and have rtk base connected to the controller, while at the same time using a regular GPS with good antenna on the aircraft.

@Jonathan @Artem
The easiest way to send the corrections without any additional hardware modification is to use built-in Wifi and Mission Planner (with base station connected to it)) with the "Inject GPS" function. It will send corrections over the existing MAVlink.

Sounds interesting!
So how u-blox' rtk in M8P shows itself? Did you test it?

I would be good to see some documentation on which firmware to download and flash SOLO firmware with the new firmware that support the new Drotek RTK. I like see Wiki or documentation how to install a new firmware from Drokek (if possible) for SOLO with Dritek RTK. It seems that Mission Planner has support for RTK GPS lately.

Interesting...
Can the setup be used instead for Post- Processing?

M8P performance is good, in 4-5 min you can achieve centimeter level locks, which is good compared to other products on the market. There are built-in integrity functions so the output is rock solid. Additionnally u-blox constantly improves firmware to improve lock/precision/features. Documentation coming!
