I went back today and repeated my flight. I made certain that I had a "fresh" invocation of Go 4. By dynamic (sorry for the error --- I should have said periodically manually updated --- I'm new to the vernacular), I assumed the new landing location would be the last place the HP was registered, and it worked this time. Last time, it went off to lands unknown. I assume if I'm on a boat and I periodically update my HP, it will RTH to the last HP registered. So, I'm OK there. It also works in Follow Me mode as advertised. What I verified today is that unless you make certain that a new Go 4 (not restarted from a previous flight), it will use stale data. I also verified that GPS on my iPad Mini with wi-fi + cell works fine w/o a data link through a SIM card, but will not provide a map. I now need to figure out how to preload maps in DJI Go 4.
After setting RTH point to my controller, quad goes off to parts unknown upon initiation of the RTH command from my DJI Go 4 app. My suspicion is that somehow the home point was a GPS location set in the previous day's flight. As you can see, I attempted this twice (the two long rectangular trajectories were both in the same direction) and I aborted RTH by hitting the red button on the RC. Am I doing something wrong? A newbie, so something stupid?
