There is no fixed number that guarantees a good GPS location fix but DJI drones won't be in P-GPS mode with less than 6 sats.Please could someone let me know the minimum number of satellites are needed for RTH to work.
Interesting... I thought it was 6, or maybe 8.I think Min of three for triangulation.

If you use a handheld GPS unit on the ground, it will require a minimum of four sats to get a 3D fix.Interesting... I thought it was 6, or maybe 8.
According to DJI's GPS health scale:Please could someone let me know the minimum number of satellites are needed for RTH to work.
That's what I posted in #11. The GPS Health/quality levels according to DJI's definition.The GPS bar shows the GPS quality which is far more useful than a number of satellites.
Great photoAll above is true... but of note, on a recent hike into the Siphon Draw, a narrow canyon in the Superstition Mountains, I had no problem with having adequate number and spacing of positioning satellites.
