"Satellite positioning off" error. Is it the new GPS module?

Means you have some sat reception but it’s too weak to be reliable so it’s switching or is already in Atti mode until sat reception is strong enough for it to be useful. See it a lot when first starting up for the day or in a totally new location before sat signal can be acquired.

If you haven’t taken off yet then wait. If it’s in the air then fly her up to get better sat reception and out of the way of obstacles till sats come back. Usually if it’s in flight it’s because you’ve flown under something like a bridge and will come back once you’ve cleared the obstruction

It means that the flight controller has recognised an error in the GPS data.
Is it just a one-off thing or do you see it all the time.

I reinstalled the older GPS, I no longer get the "Satellite positioning off error" and has better lock on the number of sat connections. With the new module, the satellite signal count fluctuates by 2-3 satellites every few seconds. I placed the drone on the exact same spot.

Sat acquisition should be quick providing you have a clear view of the sky.

What was the issue with the old module?

first crash: First crash, repair, but loss of confidence in the drone

but mostly the yawing issue a lot of Mavic Air has during take off.
