Yesterday was my first flight using my Egg Finder GPS. Good and Bad news. First the bad news. I overstuffed the parachute and it failed to deploy. The rocket came in hard and landed tail first. Rocket is a little banged up but will fly again. The Egg Finder worked perfectly until it hit the ground. The GPS module popped off the board so it was no longer sending a signal on the ground. I used the last received GPS signal in the field to find the rocket. The Rocket was about 134ft up range toward the pad from the GPS waypoint in tall grass. I don't think I would have recovered it without the GPS.
Questions:
1) What iPhone App do you recommend for tracking? I'm using onX Hunting App and it is not ideal. You manually enter GPS coord and it will guide you to waypoint.
2) I want to try to replace the GPS module. Anyone know the part number for the module. I see them on eBay and want to make sure I get the right one.
2) I built the TX unit with an on-board data logger and micro SIM card. I was able to recover the SIM card and using GPS Visualizer display a 2D track on Google Earth. GPS Visualizer will display 2D altitude. I would really like to be able to show a full 3D track.
Thanks in advance.
