The BIG GNSS (GPS) Issue -- The Constructive Thread

[TonyPHX]

When did the GPS issues start happening? I'm on FW300 and seem to get a lock on ithin about a minute or so? That's on cold start. Seems well within acceptable time..

300 is the initial firmware. That version was fine for GPS. Even airsense worked on that release.

New FW was set to release by 2nd week in June, let's see if it happens. I was informed of this by Dji.

'Have you heard' if air sense will be fixed?

I take it downgrading was not an option?

The new M3 FW released today (May 31) v01.00.0700 is feature packed but no mention of GPS correction.
I'm assuming that is still slated for June 2nd week?.

Today's FW doesn't hit GPS but it does add some Great new features.

Many have stated todays update did indeed fix GPS issue, I'm still on older FW so havent updated yet.

Wow... Really, that'd be great. I was going off all the YouTube Reviews... about 5 so far. Not one mentioned the GPS issue, you'd think that would be on the subject to mention, especially since many of these Reviewers were stating the same GPS issues and waiting for correction.

I'll try it out when I get back home.

There's a related change in the update release notes: Increased home point refresh rate.

Anyone else confirm?

For much of 2022, Mavic 3 owners have been plagued by slow home point locks when cold starting the drone....

Seems like many are stating the same on other thread...

Mavic 3 updates imminent?

Not sure what to make of this update from @DealsDrone, but it could be interpreted that an update is near:

I am seeing much quicker times (less than 1 minute) for satellite acquisition so far today with the updated FW.

I didn't have the GNSS problem with .600, but cold start has been around 30 seconds with .700 -- I think that's about as good as it gets.

To me after the update error message viewers displaying after take off.
