False location

Can you use false location app on a mini to use fcc

Yes, use a fake GPS App and it will work. It has been done before.

 
Yes you can, it is easy. I used iSpoofer but depending on your os+phone there are many different alternatives.
 
No had this on mavic air your your home point will always be were you take of YouTube false location app
The drone has its own GPS position so if you were to update your home point using the app that would cause a problem?
 
There is a snatch, you have to start and land the drone with the app closed/phone disconnected to the controller. That is when the drone decides what settings to use, since it would not be a good idea to make those changes mid flight. So if you ”fool” the phone, start up the drone normally somewhere where there is no gps reception, the drone will use the (fake) gps position from the phone and set fcc accordingly. From then on, it will not change fcc unless it is connected to a correct phone gps with motors turned off, that is before take off and after landing. So you can ”de-fool” your phone after the initial process.
 
For the home point to work as advertised, it must be in the drone not the rc. The whole point is to allow the drone to come home when it looses connection with the rc and tablet

Yes, but you can set the home point using the map, so the app must tell the drone the home point you have chosen.
 
Yes, that might work. Use the real map to set the home point, Then download the fake map. I don’t know where the switch from us to ce takes place. If it happens at the controller end, that will work, iIf it is in the drone, it will not.
 
No, the phone doesn't need to have fake gps while you fly, just once if you follow the procedure. You can change the home point, but even though the drone ”knows” it is in a new territory it will not switch FCC in mid flight. It will only switch if it has conflicting gps data when motors are off AND phone+app is connected. So as long as you disconnect/close app and land manually AND start manually next time you take off the FCC will remain indefinitely.
The same would apply if you go to the US (or EU from US) fly normally (FCC would change before take off) land normally, go back to the EU (or US respectively), start up and take off w/o app or phone. Then you would still fly with the same FCC as before your flight home.
Faking the gps coordinates just makes it a lot cheaper …
