1 GeoLink Support
GeoLink is supported from firmware version 2.5. In order to utilize all the functions it is necessary to enable the support in the Spirit Settings - General tab.
2 Compass Calibration
All GeoLink modules were fully tested and calibrated. The only thing pilot might need is to re-calibrate Compass. Compass is crucial for determining heading of the model for a proper navigation through space. Compass is sensing Earth's magnetic field (Geomagnetic field) and in this way it can determine heading at any time. Unfortunately Geomagnetic field is different everywhere. Thus if you live outside Czech Republic country where module was calibrated initially, it is recommended to perform new calibration. [TODO: need to perform testing with a pilots]
