Calculate distance by gps data

Post by OpenMik »

Hi
At this moment is possible with OpenTx 2.1 calculate in real time the distance between radio and model by GPS data?
I suppose initial position is needed

An for the future OpenTx 2.2?

The first position received after a telemetry reset is stored as home position, and a Dist calculated sensor will give you either 2D or 3D distance as desired.
