    Compass nightmares

    Interesting! If I cannot get it sorted in the DJI store this will be the next step I feel. It has been through a lot of plane journeys and xray machines etc so I am definitely leaning towards there being a hardware defect of some sort. The fact the message disappears if I set a home point and...

    Compass nightmares

    Just getting back online again and read this. Its a consistent issue and ongoing in Argentina. If I switch the drone on and launch the app (and have satellite reception) the app shows a home point. If I simply walk 100m away (so the app shows im at a distance of 100m) the message disappears...

    Compass nightmares

    DAT file attached. what program can I open this in to review? useful knowledge for the future. It appears rather bizarre still. I walked 100m from the site of switching the drone on to fly. Also noted (albeit I haven't fully testedthis out yet) that when the drone was facing north or east it...

    Compass nightmares

    Funny enough that’s what I’ve just been looking at and is tomorrow mornings last resort. Other than that I can only assume it’s actual damage somehow to the compass sensor. There’s a DJI store in buenos airies I can visit but it will be after all those beautiful mountains sadly! I’ll post an...

    Compass nightmares

    Hi all. Flying around the globe with my Mavic Air. Had minimal issues in Russia, Mongolia, China, South Korea, Japan and New Zealand other than needing to regularly recalibrate compass (accepted given I moved around a lot). Now, however, I’m hiking around Chile and Argentina with a rather large...
