Was flying out over water yesterday and my drone gave me a home point is updated with no action on my end. It did it twice before I brought it back (wanted to finish the shot).

Never happened before just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Until you post flight data to show just what happened, there's no way for anyone to comment on your incident.
If you are interested to find out, the data will show what happened.

Here are a couple of options ...

1. Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a detailed report on the flight data.
Come back and post a link to the report it provides and someone might be able to analyse it and give you an understanding of the cause of the incident.
or
2. Just post the .txt file here
or
3. If you use Airdata, you can view the flight data on Airdata and post a link for the Airdata report

I appreciate it, i don't like posting my flight logs unless i lose a drone but its a good reminder to go look myself.... will do that when i get some time have flown several times since cautiously and have not seen a repeat of the issue.
 
For the nit-pickers.

OP knew what I was thinking but I guess others get triggered trying to read my mind.

You didn't see me make any comments (after my first one) in the other thread about "maybe" this is what happened.
I appreciate the help, i understood the "might" and found the thread worth my time reading.
 
OK, so you don't really want to know what happened and would rather just guess and cross your fingers it doesn't happen again. Fair enough
I think I know what happened, I took off thinking I had a home point set, for some reason it didn't set even though i have more that 14 sats, then during the flight it decided to set when i got a few more, then it lost some sats and set again.

I have had flights since and it has not been a issue, im keeping a eye on it but also went through a update of the aircraft and controller app since then as well.

No need to be snarky just because i don't want to post my logs, like I said unless i lose a drone I don't post them. If this was a private forum that would be different, but since its public its a different story.
