We are very happy to introduce our new development "World Drone Viewer".
Drone World Viewer is a monitoring service drones, use our GPRS communication module specifically developed to allow communication with APM2.X, PIXHAWK and all those systems that handle the MAVLINK protocol.
The device is very easy to install, for example 3DRobotics IRIS is only necessary to connect 4 wires ( vcc, gnd, tx, rx )
It has a very low current to avoid sacrificing time of flight (25mA on Tx). The refresh is done approximately every 2 ~ 3 seconds (depending on the cellular network) .Currently its sending only lat, long, alt, flightmode, speed, voltage and remaining battery.
Our website is: WorldDroneViewer where you can see the vehicles that are up in the database.
The site is still in development and we expect in late June have our version 2.0 of pcb for better installation.
Meanwhile, we continue to update the product and connecting more vehicles to the system.
If someone is interested on this project pls let us know at wdroneviewer@gmail.com

interesting.
If it was powered from a separate battery will it continue to transmit AFTER the main battery is dead or it is disconnected from the flight controller. in other words would it still transmit the last position?
Please keep us "in the loop".

Hi Ravi!, the module will be around $150.00 i agree with you, locating drones after crash or flyaway will be a great solution. There some other great features we are adding to the new version. Thks for the interest and application notes!
what would be the cost of the module? very useful in locating lost drones. if the price is kept low it will be a necessary item specially for fixed wing drones which fly a longer distance.
