GeoLink Features

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 Feature list

1.1 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.

1.1.1 How it works

When module is powered up for the first time at a given day and it is trying to find the 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 Logging

GeoLink is logging each flight and stores the logs in its memory. It is storing every second while total flight log length can reach up to 1.5 hour. If the memory is exceeded it automatically delete old logs in order to store new one. Logged data are subject to change and could change in the future updates.

1.2.1 Logging specification

• Up to 1.5 hour
• Up to 63 logged flights
• Recording period: 1 second

1.2.2 What is being logged?

• Position on Earth: Latitude and Logitude
• Altitude: relative altitude from starting point
• Speed: flying speed of the model
• Heading: direction in which model is flying
• Date and time

1.2.3 Log viewer

Any logged flight can be viewed on demand with Spirit Settings software. You can see flight paths directly on the map and can re-play the log in a speed you wish.

1.2.4 Log backup and sharing

Each log can be also backed up or shared with others easily by saving it as file to your computer. The files can be loaded and replayed in the viewer.
