Does this AT305's GPS work without being connected to anything? i.e. stand alone?

Yes, I use an app called Copilot, even used it in the UK on vacation. Works like a gps in your car.

No. If you get connected via wireless you can but otherwise you would have to find free wireless at Starbucks 'sOr something.

No or at least you would have to subscribe to cell carrier to hook into the internet to have it available at all times.

I'm afraid not. It is a receive-only GPS. The drone itself transmits GPS position information from the module back to your phone using the drone's on-board WiFi hot spot.

Good Luck, I received 2 of these GPS Units and neither worked. The seller requested I remove my negative feedback from the site prior to a refund being issued. Had to get Amazon involved to resolve this mater. In my opinion this is a buyer-be-ware seller offering a low quality item and attempting to publish false feedback to potential customers !!!!!!!

Nope, just turn on the gps in the running mode for outdor running and that´s it!!!

Thanks. The web updater didn't seem to work. Because my parents have the same GPS, I tried it in their receiver and it worked. I realized that the receiver itself was defective. I'm in the process of returning it - I will probably give another one a shot, overall I think it's a nice unit.

Unless you have a defective unit your GPS will work just fine without wifi - but your mapping apps like Google Maps and Earth will not. You need an offline mapping app, and you need to download the maps to the device (either the internal storage or the microSD card). I use Mapdroyd for mine, and it works great, but there are many offline mapping apps out there.Also, make sure that your GPS is enabled. Go to Settings > Location Access and turn the GPS satellites function on.I would also recommend downloading the GPS Status & Tools app to manage your GPS. It's free.

This video will explain where it knows you're at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZSaMUfWstc You don't need a smart phone with any stand alone GPS. This device cannot link to a smart phone. I have a high end Garmin that can link up to a smart phone, but it's option for hands free conversations and enhanced traffic.

If you have slot for micro SD Card it will work without adapter. But most Garmins have the standard SD Card Slot requiring the adapter.

I am not sure how to fix that. Mine works just fine. You may need to send it back for a replacement unit. Also I didn't have to plug in my GPS sensor.

No, it does not. Alternatives are pseudo-GPS memory cards (like Eye-Fi Pro) or separate GPS trackers or smartphone apps.

It will connect to Android, but to use it the "allow mock locations" setting must be on, which invalidates most gps-based apps. Ensure that the app you want to use allows mock locations.

Connect the gps verify the first use you delay working 1 minute while recognizing the gps must have installed AR.FreeFlight 2.0

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline

OK, let me answer my own question. Yes, it works. I'm actually surprised how well the GPS radio works on this phone, I can get a fair lock indoors, which a dedicated Garmin can't pull off. This is without a carrier data plan, that is aGPS minus the "a". Copilot worked fine for the easy drive I gave it so far. The hardware is willing, you'll have to check elsewhere to find out if Copilot is good enough for you.Edit: The phone doesn't do any good when the battery is dead. I'm finally finding that, with everything but the GSM radio off, this thing is lucky to give 20 hours of standby time. So, on second thought, it's completely useless.

I just checked to see if a gps would work. If you have a smaller gps yes it should work.

Hi. Just some tips for verification:1) Uninstall / Reinstall driver and software2) Try connecting GPS unit to another USB port. Connect it only after reinstalling driver/software and reboot the PC.3) If problem persists, try the whole process in another PC.It is required further info for better response,Regards,Juan Manuel.
