So I wanted to test the RTH function, and the resetting of the home point.
I took off, flew a hundred metres away, and hit the RTH button. All worked fine; it came back to me and started its landing procedure.
I then moved a short way, and chose to update the home point, and repeated the test.
My phone must have experienced GPS drift (not uncommon with mobile phones) so it actually set the home point about 100m away. I didn't notice, so when I hit the RTH again, the drone went merrily flying off over a nearby building. It then lost connection as it went lower, presumably due to the large building being in the way. Luckily, I saw where it had gone, ran over, and it reconnected, so I was able to retreive it no problem. Phew!
So be aware: carefully check your home point on the map when setting or updating it.
