Problems with Folllow Me ...and GPS

[Marco_Bensi]

Sorry, I ask you to help me understand…
There are several times that the CRAZY ME gets stuck at the start because she tells me she doesn’t have GPS … and closes.
There are at least 12 satellites when the window appears… what could have happened???

It worked fine for me before.

Thanks !!

Hello Marco, there are a number of issues to consider when using Follow, so it might help to read or reread the Follow Section of the Litchi User Guide. Are you in the same place as before? There might be interference of some type so you might want to try Follow Mode in a different location. Help - Litchi

Ciao Marco, ci sono una serie di problemi da considerare quando si utilizza Segui, quindi potrebbe essere utile leggere o rileggere la sezione Segui della Guida utente di Litchi. Sei nello stesso posto di prima? Potrebbero esserci interferenze di qualche tipo, quindi potresti provare la modalità Segui in una posizione diversa. Aiuto - Litchi

It worked fine a while ago.
It hasn’t worked for a while…
The screen appears referring to problems with the GPS data (but I repeat … there are at least 12 satellites) and it just says OK to close the window and I stay … without doing anything.

However, Tracks too …doesn’t work and loses the subject, nine times out of ten…
It needs to be improved if it’s not a waste of money.

1. Mobile Device GPS Accuracy/Altimeter: The estimated accuracy of your mobile device’s location, in meters/feet. If this number is red, it means your current location accuracy is over the “Minimum Location Accuracy” general aircraft setting. In such a case, you will not be allowed to start Follow. If you are having difficulties getting a good location accuracy, try another location or increase the “Minimum Location Accuracy” general aircraft setting. Setting the “Minimum Location Accuracy” to a higher value will allow for a bigger margin of error for the mobile device GPS signal, but the follow me movements may be less precise.

Precisione / altimetro GPS del dispositivo mobile: l’accuratezza stimata della posizione del dispositivo mobile, in metri / piedi. Se questo numero è rosso, significa che la precisione della posizione corrente è superiore all’impostazione generale dell’aeromobile “Precisione posizione minima”. In tal caso, non ti sarà permesso di avviare Follow. Se hai difficoltà a ottenere una buona precisione della posizione, prova un’altra posizione o aumenta l’impostazione generale dell’aeromobile “Precisione minima della posizione”. L’impostazione della “Precisione minima della posizione” su un valore più alto consentirà un margine di errore maggiore per il segnale GPS del dispositivo mobile, ma i movimenti follow me potrebbero essere meno precisi.

Thanks Steve…yes you’re right…thinking about it it’s the only thing I touched in the App that could cause problems as you say tru. I’m going to increase the precision and maybe it doesn’t create problems for me.

I’ll let you know the outcome of the tests and thank you very much.
Sorry but I use a translator as I know written English a little but not enough not to say nonsense.

Go to this thread:

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. [Follow Mode Altimeter opacity 50%] [Minimum Location Accuracy Android 50%] [Minimum Location Accuracy] FOLLOW settings on Android vs iOS: (i…

In this you are right.

mine is not recording on follow me mode. does anyone knows why?

[Marco_Bensi]

I want to thank everyone who replied, as as they had suggested, it was a Minimum Localization Accuracy parameter that I had set incorrectly.
With 10 meters everything worked again and I just did a follow me test and it worked great.

I tried the Track again and it’s still not as perfected as it should be.
Sometimes it tracks (especially if the subject is colorful and silhouetted against the background) and sometimes it widens the tracking window and loses the subject.

Let’s hope for a future improvement.

Have a nice day everyone!!
