Troubleshooting

Widget shows "No GPS Signal":

• Ensure you have a GPS sensor connected and configured
• Check that GPS telemetry is being received in EdgeTX
• Verify the GPS sensor is properly bound and sending data

Widget not appearing in widget list:

• Ensure the file is placed in /WIDGETS/GPlusCd/main.lua on the SD card
• Check that the SD card is properly inserted
• Restart EdgeTX after copying the files

"No run function" error:

• This usually means the file is not in the correct location
• EdgeTX widgets must be in /WIDGETS/<widgetname>/main.lua format
• Make sure you're copying the GPlusCd folder, not just the main.lua file

About Google Plus Codes

Google Plus Codes (also known as Open Location Codes) provide a way to encode locations into a short alphanumeric code. This is useful for sharing precise locations without requiring full GPS coordinates.
