    map seems to be offset..?

    I have noticed the same issue with Litchi and Dronelink. The GPS has a range of inaccuracy but usually not 30M off. No major solar activity to affect the GPS now. Dronelink has a method to realign the mission but only in the higher priced professional software. Litchi is supposed to have a...

    IOS or Android

    I tried the Dragon 10 tab and the screen is really tough to see in sunlight. Usually us my Galaxy s21 for the older drone.

    Mini 3 (France '24 Part 7) Sud est de la France - 4K

    Great shots, looking at the Western coast for the next trip to France but you make us think about SE after that. North, South and the Paris trips have all been wonderful.

    Passed the 107 Exam, Now how long is current wait for certificate?

    Nosing around the FAA site there is a statement of what the current date they are working on. Look on the menus and it will give you a ballpark timeframe.

    Accurate Return to home not working for others?

    There has been some very intense sunspot activity lately affecting radio reception. Just a thought.

    It shames me to confess this...but here I go...

    You might investigate a polarizing filter to better see "into" the water and reduce the reflected light. Just a suggestion. Good luck!!

    GPS disconnects constantly with Mavic 3 Pro

    Another possible cause is solar flares, we have been going through a high cycle and it has caused radio blackouts. Spaceweather.com can keep you alerted to them. Just a thought....

    Changing controller

    Switching my new mini 3 P from it's RC to the mini 2's N1 I would get the firmware message and seemed to do an upgrade/change going between the two drones. Allowed the 5 times so for an emergency it would be OK but a pain to switch otherwise. Just using the RC with the 3 and the N1 with the 2.
