To the best of my knowledge, I activated RTH when the drone was in my vicinity--it was dusk, and I decided to use the feature. I do not have the exact data, but the altitude was at least 100 feet. The Mavic landed in the water at least 200 ft. from the home point.
The aircraft landed at least 200 hundred feet from the home point which unfortunately was in the water. If it would have been within 16 feet I could have easily recovered it because it would have been on dry land.
Apparently, if the RTH is triggered within a short distance of the controller (I am not sure exactly what the number is) the drone will just land rather than return to home. I doubt if most people are aware of this feature and I cannot imagine what the purpose of such a feature would be.

I bought the care refresh because it claimed "fly with confidence" and "water damage covered." I realize I should have read the fine print before I purchased, but the requirement that the drone be recovered was only made obvious after I made the purchase. They should add that to the above hype...
