For some reason this morning my Yarbo is sitting in the middle of my driveway “waiting for gps to recover” it has been working for the last 2 days without issue. It is basically sitting next to the data center. All antenna look fine.
What’s going on?
Power off the DC and the core (unplug battery) for 5 mins and then power up the DC, then the core. See if GPS recovers. If you have your core connected to your home WiFi, consider forgetting that network. It could be a factor.
It happened to my Rover, I had to reboot, both Rover and data center, that fixed it. However, it’s still iffy.
Please try the suggestions provided by @bryan.wheeler and @me1 to see if they resolve the GPS issue. If the problem persists, feel free to submit a support ticket so our team can further investigate and assist you.
I have this issue frequently. I have to reset my data center almost daily and then GPS is good anywhere from hours to a day or two. I am experimenting with NetRTK today and so far, no “Waiting for GPS”. I have 100% wide open skies. The flaky GPS started occurring this year. In 2025, I didn’t have these issues.
Wondering if your RTK antenna on the DC is marginal. What does your scatterplot survey and CNR values look like?
Where do I find these plots?
Diagnostics, under RTK, tap the yellow details and connect to your DC.
You have to be close up to the DC, within bluetooth range to connect.
I remember someone posting that there is a bug where the scatterplot does not show up for some users. I believe @Yarbo-Forum commented that this should be fixed in the next app release. Somebody correct me if I hallucinated that.
You didn’t hallucinate that, it is a known bug and will be fixed in the next app update.
If you are on NetRTK it wouldn’t matter, it should still show you the site survey. It just wouldn’t be using the DC RTK for positioning since it’s using NetRTK. What you are seeing is a known bug. Should be fixed soon. After the next app update, you can try again and see if your CNR values are marginal and that could help explain your issues you were seeing.
Sounds good, thanks for the feedback. On my NetRTK experiment today, I have zero GPS waiting disruptions, so so far, so good.
Hi there, glad to hear that the “Waiting for GPS” issue hasn’t appeared since you switched to NetRTK.
If you still need to use the Data Center and continue experiencing GPS issues in the future, feel free to submit a support ticket. Our team can help investigate the issue further and work with you toward a resolution.
…or if his router is doing that “50,000,00 lease exhaustion” thing.
tell me more?
