    Air 3 Map- RED LINE HOME is GONE

    UPDATE: Indeed it IS there, it's just not RED any more, its LIGHT GREY and barely visible. So far the only thing I really NO NOT LIKE about the Air 3 - otherwise, i am really enjoying it. It's invisible in daylight - on the previous remote it was THINK and BRIGHT RED. Doh. But yes, you can...

    Air 3 Map- RED LINE HOME is GONE

    Hmmm... on mine the red line is no longer there. I am referring to the map, not the radar. As another poster said, the radar is helpful for point the way back to the H icon, but I will try again. Perhaps as someone else said it is more faint now and with the new controller it is hard to see in...

    Air 3 Map- RED LINE HOME is GONE

    Thank you, that's true. I don't use it just to return home, but just to keep my bearing as i fly about, nice to always know which way is back. RTH make it to "up" and then back, but yes, it does point it in the right direction, so that is always a good backup. I have used that when conenction...

    Air 3 - First Thoughts and A Question

    I also just went from 2S to 3. I'm nervous about the built in screen remote (smaller) AND as I post in this thread, the RED LINE that show return route home is missing - but I'm hoping someone will tell me how to enable that. I used a dedicated iPad Mini 6 on an elevated stand in the previous...

    Wow!, Wow! ,Wow!

    I've only done one flight with my Air 3 and so far WOW, but I did post about the missing red line on the map showing the way home on new remote. Other than that, super impressed.

    Air 3 Map- RED LINE HOME is GONE

    Got the new Air 3, took my first flight. So far, I like it. BUT on the map (got the new remote with built in screen) there is no RED LINE pointing the direct route back home. This is very handy in situations where it isn't so obvious from surroundings which is the way home. Is this a setting...

    First long range test mini 2

    First of all, I don't understand the reason people do "distance tests" - do they just have extra cash laying around for buying new drones and aren't concerned with safety? Just seems pushing something to the limit beyond LOS is foolish. But that's just me. Second, on TRUST - hadn't heard of...

    Mavic Air 2 and DJI goggles

    I tried the cable connection, it's a no go. Can only use my Goggles with my Spark.

    Mavic air 2/FPV/goggles

    This is the #1 disappointment with MA2, but otherwise I like it. Can only use Goggles with my Spark.

    Lady threw a rock at my drone

    I've had kids pick up rocks and throw them, but I'm usually high enough that they couldn't reach that high even if they had that good of aim. I usually assume it is just good natured humor not really evil intent. Makes for a fun video clip, but I move on just in case it is a sign they don't like...

    New Firmware for Air 2

    Glad to hear of tracking update, LOVE MY AIR 2, sold Mavic and Mavic Mini to get it, only disappointment is the tracking stinks, when it was supposed to be better, and that it doesn't work with DJI Goggles, missed that in specs, and super disappointed to not be able to use my Goggles. (Can still...
