GPS Glitch

  1. The vehicle is loitering normally and then suddenly takes off in the wrong direction.  This is generally caused by a GPS Glitch.  There is no 100% reliable protection against these which means the pilot should always be ready to take-over manual control.  Beyond that ensuring a good GPS HDOP before take-off is always good and it may help to reduce the GPSGLITCH_RADIUS and/or GPSGLITCH_ACCEL parameters (see GPSGlitch wiki page for details) to tighten up on the glitch detection.


ERR-GPS 2 means a GPS glitch. ERR-GPS 0 means a recovery.


FS_GPS_ENABLE should be set to 1
