GPS

Settings and live status for a GPS module. In Rotorflight, GPS is used for telemetry -- position, speed, altitude and distance on your radio -- and for flight statistics.

GPS tab

The tab appears once the GPS feature is on and a UART is set to GPS on the Configuration tab.

Settings

Setting
Protocol UBLOX for u-blox modules (most GPS modules), or NMEA.
Ground Assistance Type SBAS correction: Auto-detect, or pick your region (EGNOS, WAAS, MSAS, GAGAN), or None.
Auto Baud Finds the module's baud rate automatically.
Auto Config Configures a u-blox module for the flight controller at power-up. Leave it on.
Use Galileo Use the European Galileo satellites (instead of the Japanese QZSS).
Set Home Point Once Use the first arming after power-up as home; otherwise home is reset on every arming.

Status

Fix, number of satellites, position, altitude, speed and distance from home, with the signal strength of each satellite and the position on a map (the map needs an internet connection).
