        While presently utilizing the exact same parameter, the QGS occasionally presents a GPS error, whereas at other instances, it indicates normal GPS functionality.

                      Okay, I'm done, and the drone got GPS this is video link.

                      However, I mistakenly used the power adapter instead of the battery when I unplugged it to switch to flight on battery mode, so there was no GPS signal.
