First, I use an IPad 128g for a display.

On the bottom of the screen there is an icon that looks like a person next to an arrow. It is just to the right of the vertical speed. It shows N/A.

All other indicators (gps, obstacle avoidance, etc.) seem normal.

What is this for and should it display something other than N/A?
 
Maybe for second controller ??
 
if you take off and go up slowly you will see it start to give you distance from home point it only works when the downwards sensors are above a certain point from the ground
 
Finally got a chance to go back up today; Dorian caused too much wind :)

Anyway, when I checked that ICON again it starts off with VPS and does register a number, then switches over to that little guy and the arrow. It seems like it registers distance for a short time but once you get a little further away it goes to N/A. I know I've seen videos where that ICON was reading hundreds of feet; not sure why mine stops after a short distance.

i think the way i described it probably sounded wrong it gives a reading when it is within sensor distance of the ground and then stops when it goes higher it has to do with the home point i believe
