I was recently flying to another pasture in my rural area, about 2000 feet away when I suddenly lost the link with my phone. My controller was still managing the Mavic. I could have just pushed RTH but I decided to try to fly the drone back using the distance reading. If it went down I would know I was getting closer and could just land when it was overhead. That worked a while but then the distance lessening slowed and started increasing. I knew then that I was probably flying at an angle and passed the direct route to home. So I decided to just play it save and pushed RTH. It came right home but not before flying right over my neighbor's house. Before I called him he called me and said he didn't appreciate it, to which I apologized. We're OK. I explained it is my habit to never fly over anyone's home, that my drone was lost. I've downloaded what I think is my flight log info but don't know what to do with it or how to analyze it. What I'd like to find out is what exactly the drone did as signal to the phone was lost and where it flew. I see a before and after flight on my phone but, of course, it does not include that interlude. What I've acquired from the drone are a series of files with titles like "cp-assert.log, a bunch of dl-01 thru dl-019 files, and this one, fatal.log. Are these the flight log files? Where do I upload them to view them? Thanks.
