With so many Flyaway on spark, I guess an External GPS tracker is needed.

Most of the flyways are pilot errors and misunderstanding of how to pilot the SPARK drone .  The best example would be my personal experience from the following link . Count how many compass errors and esc errors  i got during 2 KM distance flights inclduing return   and how RTH remianed perfect .

My Spark starts in normal condition with GPS. Once it launched it looses GPS signal and flyes uncontrolled away. First time it founds some signal again and come back. Second time I could bring it down and land. Third time it crashed. I was lucky and nothing happend to the drone. What the hell is the issue??? Any software update to solve this problem?

Sometimes you may try to switch from P-GPS mode to Sports mode and back ( maybe couple of times), then GPS lock is returned back
