Connecting GPS

Upon connecting GPS, the following possibilities appear:

• The copter can remain at the same point when flying outside
• Autonomous missions may be programmed in the QGroundControl application
• Flying may be performed by global points in standalone mode using the [simple offboard] module (simple_offboard.md).

Connection

The GPS module is connected to "GPS" and "I2C" (compass) connectors of the flight controller.

If GPS is connected, magnetometers are to be re-calibrated in the QGroundControl application via a Wi-Fi or USB connection.

Next, GPS is to be enabled in parameter EKF2_AID_MASK (when EKF2is used) or LPE_FUSION (when LPE is used).
