I was wondering what the maximum amount of satellites one has seen while flying the Phantom 2 Vision Plus with the DJI App?  I have seen a maximum of 13.  I'm wondering if the GPS Module/DJI App is limited to a certain number?

I wouldn't worry about it, you are getting plenty of GPS coverage.I don't remember how many I used to get on my old Phantom.

On a clear sunny day I would get 13 satellites when in the air.  After many flights and a crash (that wasn't my fault), the Phantom 2 Vision Plus would have trouble holding 6 satellites (lock) while on the ground.  I replaced the GPS module, and I saw the 13 satellites again for sometime, but now it is back to a lower value.  I'm wondering if I have an intermittent somewhere (on the central board or in the flight controller)?  Does anyone know where the signal path is the the GPS after it attaches to the Central Board?  I see the Central Board would be cheaper to replace than the Flight Controller...

I suggest sending it in to be looked at because there could be some ternal damage after your crash and it could be very costly for you to repair it yourself.
