Choosing the right GPS for an FPV (First-Person View) drone is crucial for ensuring accurate positioning, reliable navigation, and effective failsafe mechanisms. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best
Drone GPS for your FPV drone:
1. Compatibility with Flight Controller:
Ensure that the GPS module is compatible with your drone’s flight controller. Popular flight controllers like Betaflight, INAV, or Ardupilot often have specific recommendations for GPS modules.
2. Satellite Support:
Look for GPS modules that support multiple satellite systems (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou). Multi-system support improves accuracy and reduces the time needed to get a position fix.
3. Refresh Rate:
Higher refresh rates (e.g., 10Hz) provide more frequent updates to the flight controller, improving the responsiveness of the GPS.
