Thanks for the thorough yet quick video; it helped me install the exact same GPS/Compass combo on my 5" quad. I noticed at the end that you did not bother to setup up the magnetometer's alignment in BF (CW 270 flip vs CS 90, etc). Did you do that because you have no need for the compass, because compasses on such small quads don't work that well, ... ? I ask because I have not been able to get my compass for the M8Q 5883 to give very accurate results at all, no matter where I place it on my quad. I'd like to have a compass for a more secure GPS Rescue and to give more accurate heading information, but I'm about to give up.
Hi! It was done after and didn't mentioned in a video. From my experience M8Q Magnetometer (compass) performs pretty well, all is dependant on it's location on quad and wiring routes of power lines (motors, beeper). In any case - mag in Betaflight is just "help" to detect direction (heading), when on INAV it is mandatory. Betafilght's GPS Resque will work without any magnetometer. And as it GPS Rescue and not RTH - it dedicated to return your quad to control link range, regardless how, regardless accuracy, regardless anything.
I have F7 mini blitz in F5D Nazgul..they left a ready socket for uart 4, i just need to solder the first light blue and white..but uart 4 was also on, if i do it with socket, do i need to open uart, i will only open my gps. I can't do it somehow, when the gps is connected, the control connection is lost
If I solder it this way, it looks like the gps will work without a problem, our devices are the same because now I realized that you have the same controller.

subbed and thanks for the 3dprint link! ;)

Could you please share your XT60 3D mount? I love it
Where did you make the 3d mount for the gps module fromv
I printed it myself. Link to STL 3D Model file in description.
