Tracking a drone (Betaflight) in real-time on a map – using a Wi-Fi connection to TBS Crossfire TX
If you want to track in real-time your drone or if you're going to spot the area of a crash or the location of an emergency landing visually or if you want to track your drone on the map in real-time even if the VTX link is lost and you triggered the return to home function, then this video is for you.
All the configuration steps are presented in this video to achieve the previously presented goals.

MORE INFO:
If you can get only the "MAVLink in emulation" mode, this happens because you do not receive correct and real MAVLink data to your TBS Crossfire TX. So, check the following: 1. The connexon is correctly done between FC and TBS Crossfire RX - TX to RX and RX to TX. 2. Check that the wires are not broken, 3. Check on the FC and TBS Crossfire RX if you don't have a soldering bridge between TX and RX pads, 4. In Betaflight, did you configure the specific UART at which you connected the TBS Crossfire RX? 5. In Betaflight, did you configure the UART port correctly (on MAVLink and 115200)? 6. In TBS Crossfire RX, did you configure the MAVLink TX and RX on the correct output channels correctly?
