[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 59263, member: 10850"] Because the DJI Go app can only be used on a smart phone some of the Spark's advanced Settings are not available when using the RC by itself. While some smaller drones do have GPS in the remote control the Spark RC does not (confirmed on DJI spec page here [URL="https://www.dji.com/mobile/spark/info"]Spark – Specs, FAQ, Tutorials and Downloads[/URL] Using the DJI Go app with the phone/RC combo allows [I]two[/I] choices for the Home Point: a) the fixed power on location of Spark OR b) the dynamic position of phone/RC unit. In the second option the Home Point is actually set using the GPS antenna of the phone. When using the RC alone the RTH point is always the power on location of the Spark because there's no app and no phone to provide alternate GPS data. Using the Spark with only RC or only the phone is very limited compared to all 3 used in concert. [/QUOTE]
