This is one of the three you hear the most about with drone use. Two are the GPS/cell tower ones, The Trackimo and the RF-V16+RF-V18. And this Marco Polo, which is more like (peer-to-peer) no middle man, but it has advantages and disadvantages. Advantage, if the area has no cell service (GPS is a non-issue). Disadvantage, it's range is short compared to the other types because their range is unlimited. The Marco Polo range is 2 miles max, meaning not real world. Here's some info I found on another site,
System Range
Line of sight: up to 2 miles typical
Open terrain, rolling hills with few obstructions: up to .5 – 1 mile
Dense suburban areas: 2,000 ft. typical |
