Only problem is if your quad goes into the drink you've lost your drone AND your tracker.

The MARCO POLO ADVANCED system is waterproof.

The waterproof rating is IP67. That means it can be dropped into a body of water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes.

Ahh i get it you mean "Only problem is if your quad goes into the shrink you've lost your drone AND your tracker." .. i don't think so sir because our technology right now is highly innovated just like the product that i am using. Try to take a review on their website sir What You Need to Know About Trackimo Device Tracker

Gee, Trackimo wouldn't work around me. 30 miles out of cell range where I live. I use a Marco Polo

If I don't have cell coverage, why would I even buy the thing.

Its my understand that the average cell phones get signal from cell towers and GPS gets the signal from satellites. So its reasonable to assume that you could get signal from GPS and not your cell.
I have flown in areas with no cell service and after contacting DJI, I was told to use the map to go to the area and it will download the area and save it to the app so you can see where you are on the map view as well.

sounds an awful lot like this guy is trying to sell trackimo's lol

i totally understand the need for these devices when flying BLVOS , something to keep in mind for when i get that far.. until them I'm good.

I'm personally not a big Trackimo fan, tried one for a while before switching to Marco Polo, very happy now.

Can you elaborate on what you like more about the Marco Polo?
Its it just the size? Longer charge? More accurate? Easier to view location?

No need to worry about cell service or subscriptions is the biggest plus. It is more accurate as well, when you get closer to the transceiver the signal obviously gets stronger making it even more accurate. The battery on the transceiver will last up to 15 days on a full charge too. As far as size goes the Marco Polo is smaller and weighs about an ounce less. The only downside to the system is you have to carry the handheld tracker.

I fly so frequently over the sea that If he goes down I would only track it to Davy Jones locker

So you're all good if the quad lands in 3 feet of water or less?

I wonder if you popped the drone open and sprayed it with neverwet inside and out. Would you be nice and waterproof now?

You got it. Make sure you're only flying over puddles

I've not yet tried Marco Polo yet but can i ask you a question sir msinger? Can i locate my drone using via Web, iOS, or Android app? Real time tracking for me is relevant

no real time with marco polo
think of it as a Geiger counter where after the fact,its used to pinpoint your drone.
