For those of you who have upgraded to a NEO 2, I would be interested to know whether the NEO 2 has improved VPS in difficult environments especially when GPS is not available or is weak.
For example, I had my NEO out today on a trail that was covered in fresh fallen snow so there were very little distinct patterns for the VPS to use other than my footprints. In addition for most of the walk there was very little or no GPS signal so the NEO was relying completely on VPS. Active Track (using the N3 controller) worked for some of the walk then the NEO lost its stable hover and became erratic. The same with Direction Track from the front. I would be interested to know if the NEO 2 would fair better in a situation like this or would it behave the same way when there is little or no GPS.
I have looked in the NEO 2 manual and it seems to have the same warnings for VPS as the NEO does.
