Home Lock, Heading Lock, Course Lock, Or WHATEVER???

On my Vision 2+ there was a mode in which no matter what direction the drone was pointing, when you pushed forward on the stick it would go away from you, pulled back it would come towards you, and of course left and right would move it left and right no matter it's orientation. Is this not available on the Mavic 2 Zoom?

I know there's a pointer the map display but there are times when it would just be nice to know that this feature was there in case the SHTF.

Not at this time. I seem to recall hearing it wasn't included in some of the other recent Mavic/Phantom models either.
At least course lock isn't available as a regular IFM. It is available as a mode for hyperlapse.

Course lock/heading lock probably won't help you if an error condition occurred that RTH couldn't solve.

Course lock and home lock have been available on all aircraft prior to the Mavic 2. They don't exist on the M2, at least under the current firmware.

Thanks to you both. I thought i was missing something very obvious in the manual.
