Recently lost my Mavic Pro over water. To find my done feature has the GPS coordinates for where it went down. I'm just wondering if the coordinates are pretty accurate and can they be trusted. this way if I can trust the coordinates then I can dive down and retrieve the Drone because it's insured. the water is not that deep but it is murky and I'm going to need a boat to get to it so I don't want to waste my time targeting the GPS coordinates if they're useless. Thanks for your help in advance.
 
Your logs will tell you how many GPS satellites your drone was seeing at the time it 'splashed-down' ... If you had more than 6 or 7, then it should be quite accurate!
 
The coordinates would be just as accurate as any consumer grade gps would be. You should be able to get within 10-15 feet in an environment that is fairly unobstructed.
