I honestly don't know why the Phantom 2's receiver cannot use GPS and GLONASS. I suspect it is because of the additional cost that it would impose on the Phantom. Personally, I think this is something that we will see in a future Phantom 3 as the Inspire 1 received both GPS and GLONASS.
I just came back from a couple of hours of flying, and according to my iPhone's GPS app there are only 7 GPS satellites viewable. As a result of the Phantom requiring at least 6 for GPS mode, when I only receive 7 satellites it is pretty marginal considering I drop 1-3 satellites when I enable video recording (that's why I fly ATTI mode 90% now because GPS is unusable for me). |
