GPS telemetry screen when GPS loses lock

Post by digiexchris »

I'm interested in using frsky telemetry with open9x as a lost plane finder. What happens on the telemetry screen when you previously had a GPS lock and it displays a position, but then the plane crashes and either loses GPS lock or power to the rx/telemetry? Will it still show the last known position on the telemetry screen?

Yes, after loosing telemetry receiver signal, on Telemetry GPS screen there will be last known GPS position! This is applicable for FrSky telemetry option. I assume same for other (NMEA, JETI, ....).

Hooray! I keep a hiker's GPS in the toolbox, and my phone also does GPS, so it'll be an easy way to find those impossible to find foamies that have turned into confetti in the bean field.
