• Attempts have been made to test as many changes as possible under different conditions. But if you do find any issues, please visit INAV Github to see if the matter has already been raised. If not, then open a new issue report.

1. Download and install the new INAV 9.1 Configurator
2. Backup configuration with CLI diff all command or use the Diff All and Save to file buttons.
3. Flash INAV 9.1 WITH Full Chip Erase option enabled.
4. Load your 9.0.2 Diff settings in to the CLI.
5. Make a copy of your 9.0.2 Diff text file and rename it 9.1. Then edit it by removing any incompatible settings you see marked in RED in the CLI.
6. Once done, in the CLI type in Defaults then save.
7. Return to the CLI and load your edited INAV 9.1 Diff text file.

Rather than steps 4 and 5 above. You can try this diff update tool . This is a work in progress. Currently it will try to update version 8 or later diffs to version 9 or later. Just paste your full diff all (not dump) in to the tool. Select the INAV version you're upgrading to. Then press the button. It will create a new diff for you and give you warnings about anything you should check.

If you are updating from a much older versions of INAV. Please follow the instructions on this page.

• INAV 9.1 is primarily a maintenance build. It contains many fixes and code cleanups. With the goal of making INAV even more dependable.

Due to GNSS data processing losses than occur when gps_ublox_nav_hz is set higher. INAV now provides a more optimized update rate, depending on your hardware type (M8, M9 or M10) and the number of concurrent constellations you have selected.

In general, lower UBLOX update rates will allow your GNSS module to provide better position accuracy when more constellations are selected. But there is also a trade-off. The update positions will becoming more broadly spread-out at higher flight speeds.
Changes can be made in the Configurator GPS Tab to suit your hardware and flight requirements.

Read PR , Issue and GPS and Compass setup for more information on the topic if required.

This allows pilots who choose to fly without a compass, to point the front of their MC or VTOL towards a known NORTH (0°) heading before takeoff; so you don't have to fly a short distance to acquire a GNSS course over ground heading before a navigation mode can be activated.
Please read here to gain a greater understanding of how to use this feature.

Various changes have been made to improve multicopter position hold accuracy when the GNSS signal is poor or fluctuating. These changes have also added some small benefits to fixedwing navigation performance as well.
However keep in mind, position estimation will now rely more on the accelerometer weight. This means you should always ensure your multicopter or VTOL is as free from propeller and motor vibrations as possible. Read here for some useful setup tips.
