# GPS Tab

:::note
Sorry; this Wiki page has not yet been written.
:::
Set up your GPS settings here. GPS is used in Betaflight for GPS Rescue and showing GPS Coordinates in the OSD.

## GPS Configuration

Here’s the revised table with the protocol options combined:

| **Option** | **Description** |
YarosMallorca marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Protocol** | The GPS protocol to use.<li>**UBLOX** - The most common GPS protocol; most GPS modules use this protocol.</li><li>**NMEA** - Use this for GPS modules that don't support UBLOX.</li><li>**MSP** - Use this for GPS modules that use MSP protocol.</li> |
| **Auto Config** | Automatically configures the GPS settings; it is recommended to keep this enabled. Requires Betaflight 4.5 or newer for M10 GPS modules. |
| **Use Galileo** | Enable this if you want to use Galileo satellites; for most users, this should be enabled. |
| **Set Home Point Once** | When enabled, only the first arm after the battery is connected will be used as the home point; if not enabled, every time the quad is armed, the home point will be updated. |
| **Ground Assistance Type** | The type of ground assistance to use; this should be set depending on your region. |
| **Magnetometer Declination** | The declination of the magnetometer; only useful if you are using a GPS module with a magnetometer. |

## GPS Info

| **Option** | **Description** |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **3D Fix** | Whether the GPS has a 3D fix; required for GPS Rescue and showing GPS coordinates in the OSD. |
| **Satellites** | The number of satellites the GPS is connected to. |
| **Altitude** | The altitude the GPS is reporting. |
| **Speed** | The speed the GPS is reporting. |
| **Heading IMU / GPS** | The heading the GPS is reporting. |
| **Current Latitude / Longitude** | The current latitude and longitude the GPS is reporting. |
| **Dist to home** | The distance to the home point. |
| **Positional PDOP** | The current [Dilution of Precision](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_of_precision_(navigation)>); a lower value is better. |

## GPS Signal Strength

In this section you can see the signal strength of the GPS satellites.

| **Option** | **Description** |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Gnss ID** | The GNSS ID of the satellite. |
| **Sat ID** | The Satellite ID of the satellite. |
| **Signal Strength** | A visual representation of the signal strength of the satellite. |
| **Status** | Whether the satellite is used for the GPS fix. |
| **Quality** | The quality of the signal. |

## Current GPS location

This section shows a map with the current GPS location of the craft.
