Slow and surprisingly good for GPS trackers

Takes a long time to fix. The GPS seems to be wondering about the location (miles). The compass seems fine. I would not recommend it.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • unreliable

There's no such thing as a compass L883

You may want to get an idea of a product before you sell it. The compass L883 does not exist. It's not even a thing. Did you mean HMC5883L? I think so, but it's a big mistake.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Almost never

so it's practically useless to me

The GPS works but I couldn't calibrate the compass in iNav or Betaflight. I decided to take it apart and connect it to a Raspberry Pi for further testing. After some tests I couldn't get any stable readings from the compass because it always gives overflowing readings on the x and y axis, so it's pretty useless to me.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor issues

Absolute rubbish GPS/compass. Good antenna mount?

I should have listened to other feedback about compass issues and not enough GPS satellites. I thought I would save a few bucks but ended up ordering a Beitian BN-880 (I have two other Beitian BN-880 quads) to replace this piece of junk. I am using iNav on a new F7 board and the compass is constantly on/off and the GPS is finding 6-7 satellites at best so I robbed Beitian from one of my other quads and it quickly found 14-16 satellites and it was in inside! This isn't the first quadcopter I'm…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
