. Excuse my ignorance, but where is the crossroads of America?
Thanks
It's the official state moto of Indiana and Indianapolis is said to be the Crossroads due it being the hub of several major interstate highways that criss-cross Indiana and connect Hoosiers to the rest of the U.S. Others say Highways 40 and 41 in Terre Haute opened the West for settlement and were designated as part of the original federal highway system in 1926.

Welcome from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA. I too am a Mini 2 Flyer and I know the excitement of flight. So, if I may offer some advice.
Do not let the excitement of the moment get the best of you. When you are going out to fly, do it slowly and deliberately. Get used to a set procedure and even practice it.
There are so many things I could write but these are the highlights that I feel need mentioning.
Plug in your phone/tablet into your controller; turn on the Controller and DJI Fly App (if it does not start on its own…). Open the front legs, open the back legs of your drone, then remove the Gimbal Cover.
The Gimbal is the most delicate item on the Drone and banging or bumping can damage it. I also fastened a short "Remove Before Flight" ribbon to the cover so it's more noticeable and I do not forget to remove it…
Turn on the drone and watch it come to "life." Watching the Gimbal go through its self-check is almost like watching a kitten or puppy opening its eyes for the first time…
Place the drone down while it finishes its self-test (collecting satellites, etc…).
Check your battery status (Phone, Drone, and Controller), check the Signal Strength, by now the Controller should have reported it updated the Home Point.
Lift off, 4-5 feet (1-1/2 meters) or so, hover a bit, check the controls (move the drone a bit forward, back, left, right, yaw left and right). By now, your Controller will probably report again, Home point Updated.
If you go out in a rush and race thru your start up and take off before the drone has finished it prep, it may update its Home Point over that pond or that old tree you are flying over and in your excitement, you'll fly the drone long past it Low Battery point and when it engages Return to Home and lands in the pond or in a tree; it will be all on you…
Now go have fun, learn to fly the drone by sight before you try to fly it out a distance depending on the video feed, FPV.
I would also advise you to use YouTube and watch a lot of the Videos on flying and setting up the Mini 2. When it is too dark, too cold, or too wet, you can "fly it vicariously" through YouTube. Also watch some of the Blooper Drone Videos and learn how not to fly your "New Baby;"
Below is the link to all of the downloads offered by DJI for the Mini 2. You will also find the 75-page Mini 2 User's Manual, in case your Mini did not come with one. The User Manuals are published in different languages.

Many thanks for your reply. I’ve done most of what you have said and have been flying planes and helicopters over the years.
The video and photography is my weak point.
Thanks everyone for your replies and welcome.

As I wrote that you can fly your drone vicariously through YouTube when the weather is lousy or it's O-Dark-Thirty and you cannot sleep, Youtube has so many good videos on the How-To and Where-For on shooting good videos and instructions on using the built-in DJI Video Editor and other video editors, both Free and Commercial.
Happy Droning and Fly Safe…
