DJI Fly app displays incorrect home address

[tbw]

Just noticed my address in the upper left hand corner of the DJI Fly app home screen is incorrect. Must have imputed info incorrectly when setting everything up. Anyone have any idea how to edit and change the displayed address?

I believe the address displayed is based on the GPS location of your phone connected to the controller. When I go into my backyard, the address shows the street behind me. When I fly in front of my house, my street address is shown.

When I input my home address into Maps on my Galaxy S10, it's precise. It shows exactly where my house is along with my correct address. It's 700 feet from my front door to the street and 500 feet to the front door of my neighbor. It's his address that appears on my DJI Fly app. The distance from my front door to my neighbors is 1200 feet. When I set up and initialized my RC & Mini I was sitting in my office in the middle of my home. Still confused.

I have with obvious reasons no idea how your phone is set up but it could be that the triangulation that your phone might be using to set your position is off by a few 100 meters. This is usually the reason when trying to set a position using cellular antennas. You should get close to perfect positioning if you’re using wifi and your wifi is connected via hardware line.

Addresses in Google will almost most likely give a 100% true position but that is down to GIS (geographical information systems) and your position in google maps should move if you are on your home wifi and move around your house or apartment.

That's the location the app is getting from your phone data.
If the phone is using mobile phone data rather than GPS, it's likely to only be approximate.

Sitting inside your office in a building greatly reduces gps accuracy. It is difficult to get good gps signals through the roof and sides of a building.

Nothing to worry about my App. Shows 2 house down when I'm in front and 1 house down when I'm in back of my house. It shows the correct address when I'm in the house. It has no effect on flight what so ever...
