[QUOTE="Jeffrey Journey, post: 50800, member: 1017"] I have a question on a particular scenario regarding RTH... There is a field close to where I work where I enjoy flying my spark during lunch time. There is a vacant basketball court around 1800 feet away next to a few vacant buildings. What I would like to do is to take off from my spot in the field (ensuring RTH is set) and then fly to the basketball court and land the spark in the center circle of the middle of the court stopping the rotors. I would then like to start the spark back up and fly back to my spot in the field. What I also wanted to do was to go into the DJI Go 4 app and set the RTH point to be my location and not the drone's current location on the basketball court before starting it back up. I have yet to do this but was experimenting with this scenario and playing with the RTH function and discovered that since my ipad mini4 is a wireless only device (no cellular) that it could not set the RTH to be where I am while the drone is away. I believe the message said something to the effect of a weak GPS signal which somewhat makes sense...more like no GPS signal. Assuming I have described this in an understandable manner what would be the correct way to define the RTH to be my location while the drone is remotely away somewhere when my device essentially has no connectivity to anything other that the RC? My first thought was a caching of the map while I have wireless connectivity. Maybe the answer is that this can't be done... Thanks for any advice and insight...Jeff [/QUOTE]
