GeoLink offer variety of features that can be enabled on demand while flying. Some can be also combined to offer the experience you would like.

1 TTFF Accelerator

This feature allow to significantly reduce period in which GeoLink module can fix to a navigation satellites. With some devices it takes even few minutes. With GeoLink this period can be reduced to just 6 seconds while no battery backup is needed.

1.1 How it works

When module is powered up for the first time at a given day it is trying to find a satellites. It will do so in a normal way (without any time reduction). With GeoLink this should be between 20 - 35 seconds normally (depending on conditions).

Right after the flight and next power up this period is reduced significantly. When powering up within few minutes to hours you can always notice the time required for Fix is shortened.

Since the module is doing calculations to predict position of the satellites even for the following days, you can feel an improvement even if the module was not running for up to 3 days.

1.2 How can it help me?

If you fly few packs within same day, while time between is less than one hour, then the results are the best. Usually immediately after Spirit unit is initialized you are ready to fly with no additional waiting required.

If you fly just one pack, but each one or two days, you will notice benefits as well.
