Ok, I just write, like I see it.
(Think my experience with the radar, bird is not where it shows, calibrate compass of phone, bird is where it shows, more or less accurate is supporting this)
The radar has 2 functions:
1. Telling the pilot, in which direction from his position the bird is
2. Telling the pilot, what orientation the bird has right now.
Function one is totally depending by the devices on board compass.
Every time the difference is not helpfull, doing "the 8" with a compass app is correcting that to just some degree difference.
To function 2 I have just not really seen there bad (unuseful) info, yet.
But I have not much experience with it, I have to admit
(I just use "1" for some seconds, in case I lost the bird b/c display watching or such out of my eyes, to know where I have to search)
For getting the bird back, if really out of sight, since I am flying "mobil data on", almost always, I use the map view, often in sat mode.
there you have this nice path in green, which shows the shortest way. Even in Atti!
I just would like to have google maps in the app, or nokia here ;-)
Question:
As he bird did not shown right in the radar, has anyone used the RTH button, to let the bird turn its nose direct to the homepoint?
Perhaps to confirm the wrong readings?
That would be an IMU thing, methinks
