Hi,
After watching a scary video on youtube where a guy crashed his MAVIC into the ocean because (taking off from a hotel balcony) he didn't leave enought time for MAVIC to record the HOMEPOINT location after taking off, i decided to look at this subject more closely on my today's flight.
I started the MAVIC's rotors, heard the robotic female voice "homepoint has been recorded". Ready to take off. But just before taking off i checked the map on DJI GO app and to my surprise it was putting me in the middle of the water (check the H on attached pic).
But i was standing on the rooftop of my tower located a bit off that water (where it's written "south district office" on the top side on attached picture.)
So what does that mean ? does that mean that if i lose connection, and RTH is activated, then the MAVIC will land on water ?
Then it's problematic ! I then tried to click on that round compass circle on the MAP picture and click on the MAVIC Icon or Person's Icon thinking it would update more precisely but the H stayed there in the water...
Lastly the GPS of my phone was switched ON, and i had data connection...if ever that matters
any input ?
