    Sometimes QGC shows me the position of the drone and sometimes it say the message No gps lock, and I don't really know why, and, even if the gps is showing on the QGC map, the led on the GPS is blue, so it means that its not geting the position, GPS_LIGHTS. I tried to follow this guide with a similar problem GPS NOT ACQUIRING, but I couldn't fully understand it

    Here are some pictures of my problem

      are you outdoors? You need to be outdoors to receive GPS.

          You need to be outdoors, with clear visibility to the sky, to receive GPS
