Naza mlite gps lock drifts but no toilet bowl effect

[onthebrinc]

Quad= Quanum Venture
Tx: Spectrum dx6i, Rx: spectrum ar6210, Naza Mlite flight controller
Motors= multistar mt2213 935 kv
ESC= afro esc 20amp x 4
8''x4.5
Current batt= 2200 mah 3s

After several attempts and adjustments my naza mlite does not hold loacation very well even after redoing the compass calibration and having the maxnumber of satelites. The quad flys great but when you initiate the gps you can see it try to hold but it seems to drift in no particular direction after a few seconds. Like i stated previously i have redone the compass calibration and have full satleite reception (led blinks green only)

It still flys great and im usually in atti mode but i like to make things work to there fullpotential and i sure hoped it would hold better than it does. i have read on several threads that the naza mlite just does not work that great but others say its perfect.

Any recomendations?

I also have the naza mlite with GPS. My build also will drift around in GPS "position hold" occasionally. My GPS lock seems to work better if I let the flight controller "warm up" a little longer after I get satellite lock. It also appears to be less of a problem with drifting with the second battery.

I have read through tons of threads and the general statements have been that except for a very few everyone else that runs a mlite has gps issues.

I'm going to keep trying and apparently there may be a flash for the future to update the software but mlite has a terrible reputation for gps lock.
I'm pretty much going to live with it for now i mainly fly on atti.
Please do post if you find a solution

If/when an update flash is available for mlite it will probably "fix" the drift and will most probably have added geo-fencing as well which I can live with.
