Sometimes it takes my Mavic 2-3 minutes to switch from OPTI or ATTI mode to GPS mode. Other times it happens almost instantly as the craft boots up. So, PATIENCE is a virtue. Do not launch the Mavic until you get a stable GPS mode.

Hi. I just got my mavic pro. The mavic pro doesn't connect to GPS mode even though it is outside.

Reboot Device being used . Full Reboot. Try again. Patience as PhotoBooth states. So let it just idle on the ground with props spinning. Still no GPS. Remove DJIGO 4 completely. Reboot Device. Reinstall DJIGO4
Hi Mark
I live all the way in India, i dont think the registration applies to us. But thank you for the gesture. Coming to the aircraft. I shall keep it in mind to wait for a couple of minutes before flying the aircraft.
Thank you
Thank You .
Will try all of this. Hopefully it works.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Pirai, is it a cloudy day over there (looking at the photo you posted) ? That might affect GPS reception
Oops, sorry about that.
One thing I'm ignorant about is the way GPS satellites are shared (or not shared) around the world. In researching India, according to this WIKI page there are only 7 GPS satellites above India:
Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System - Wikipedia
Is that too few for reliable GPS lock? Or, am I missing something because I'm ignorant on the subject?
Mark
I dont Think that would be a problem cus there a lot of drone pilots in India right now. I dont think the others are facing the issue i am. But thank you. Will try all of the above things mentioned by everyone and will let you guys know what happens
Overwhelmed by the responses i received.

You are correct. My statement was inaccurate - I just learnt that about GPS Signals today

If your mobile device is able to get a GPS lock and your Mavic is not (and reports zero satellites in the app - check at the top of the Go 4 app when connected) then it's an issue with the Mavic.
You should be getting GPS lock in Beginner mode or WiFi mode.
Personally, I would return it to the place of purchase and ask for a replacement.

Glad you got it sorted out looking forward to some good footage
