    Hey guys ,
    Does someone knows how to do a course lock on phantom 3?
    I'm turning it on but it's not working on gps mode then I'm switching to att mode but then the phantom starts to move alone and not really doing the course lock...
    Thanks...

    I don't think IOC is enabled on the P3 - this is stated in the owners manual.
    I think it will be active in the next firmware (soon)

    According to the Phantom user manual, GPS is disabled when CL (Course Lock) is engaged. See page 55 in the manual.
    I played with CL a few times. I found it initially confusing until I played with it semi-seriously. Until POI comes along
    it'll have to suffice. My biggest problem was understanding how to change the virtual direction.

    If you have any experience with the Blade and what they called Smart Mode - it works similar to that. The major diff is
    that CL doesn't use any GPS - during CL mode your GPS satellite number is blank cuz there ain't no satellites being searched for!
    One very interesting note - according to DJU, there are no "distance limits" in CL mode. I guess that means you can fly until
    it runs out of signal strength. However, since it's not using GPS, I shudder to think what happens at that point!
