When I turn the Spirit Pro on, the geolink is blue for half a second and then dies.

Then I go to the Geo-link tab under General, and when I open it it says "Not connected". Is it broken?

if you started the calibration of geolink, you have to finish it
or the unit will always report as disconnected

It's not the calibration process - I was never able to connect to the unit and hence why I couldn't figure anything out. I was trying to play with it under receiver channel mapping as it will appear there once you enable it - but I actually think that my unit is broken.

First time you plugged it into the Spirit, did it also give a short blue light or do you have a continuous light?

.... also when I plug the geolink in, my satellite light goes off for a second and when it comes back on then my geolink goes off. Could also be a problem with my Spirit pro have no idea...

Okay I seem to have solved it.

My Spirit Pro unit arrived at version 2.5.2 but I just decided to flash it with the same version as a last result and it worked. Have no idea why. Maybe it should be flashed when the geolink is connect? Dunno

When I look at the MAP then my ISP is on some island where it say "internet provider". Does it take some other connection than GPS or why is that?

in a ideal world your isp will be near to you
but specially if you are using mobile connection, your isp exit point on can be very far from you

Okay so the isp is not what the geolink sees but my computer? Can I somehow see the geolink location on the map?

The geolink seems to be working - so it’s normal that it will just flash blue for a sec and then no light?

The geolink should light blue if it found all necessary satellites. Then it is safe to fly.

To see the heli position on the map you can click the home button below the isp button. It will show the learned gps coordinates position on the map

The home button was grayed out - so maybe my geolink can't get a gps signal? My Iphone has no problem showing my correct location on google maps..

Should one just wait for the gps signal or keep restarting the geolink until it finds a signal?
