FOLLOW Mode in Litchi

Your smart device needs to have Location Services turned On.
(iPads without cellular do NOT have a build-in GPS receiver and therefore will NOT work)

First of all check if the Displayed Accuracy is LESS than your set “Minimum Location Accuracy” in AIRCRAFT-Settings, otherwise Follow will NOT work.
Default “Minimum Location Accuracy” is 10 meters.

In the Lithi Pilot app Heading Mode:
-“Course” is called “Adaptive”
-“North” is called “Locked”

Also:
The Litchi Pilot app usses the compass in the mobile device, make sure you calibrate it.


FOLLOW settings on Android vs iOS:
(iOS doesn’t display a compass)

Difference between “Heading Mode:” ‘Course’ and ‘North’:
