It's possible it could see that many but still not good enough lock to be safe e.g. some near horizon. Try another day.

Is your phone with the airplane mode ON ?

Is your phone with the airplane mode ON ?

Yes AP mode is enabled

 

[CamoGreg]

The drone is well on the RC mode and not Wifi ?

??? not following ya???

 

[CamoGreg]

On your drone, where you insert the SD, you can choose RC or Wifi (wifi is for using the phone as a RC).

Not enough satellites on your mobile device, not on the aircraft. I.e. issue with the device you're using.

That’s probably why. The drone may have a bunch of satellites but if your phone does not have a position then follow me won’t work. Try it without your phone being in airplane mode.

Always fly with airplane mode (cache map before) and no issue

I think also that for intelligent fly you have to be at min 10m

Did you also try active track ? Same problem ?

 

[Duse]

Just did a 30k run (round trip)at a different location.Same thing except the set meter ht was green but sat was red.AP mode was off.
Active track works as it should.

Got it ,Here's what I did
Turn GPS on or off - Apple iPad Air 2

1. From the home screen, tap Settings.
2. Tap Privacy.
3. Tap the Location Services switch to turn GPS on or off.
4. The GPS status is now changed. Note: When GPS is enabled, a list of applications that access the feature is displayed. Tap any item in the list to change its GPS access.

With that said when I did it I had no image transmission,shut everything down and restarted still same NIT.Shut location services down on IPAD and started back up and we are good to go
