If a a HGPS (home GPS) sensor is found use it to draw a home marker on the map

RichCattell commented 2 years ago

Has this functionality been implemented?

Would this allow the home marker to be shown for the transmitter's position on the map? This would be very useful to assist with finding a crashed model - I assume that a gps module would need to be added to the TX and connected to a spare UART - where should this be connected on a radiomaster TX16S?

@RichCattell The TX16S has two configurable UART's under the "charge port" cover, as well as a UART in the external module bay, as well as (at least) two free UARTS internally. The best location to install a GPS is going to depend on a few factors. There are several videos on this topic available on YouTube, so I will not go too far in-depth, but any UART will work. if you do not wish to deal with trying to find a permanent internal location for a GPS, it may make more sense to just plug in to one of the UARTs on the bottom of the transmitter as needed. You just configure it like any other sensor in the Radio Settings menu.

Yes could an option to add getTxGPS() as a home marker be added, thanks.
