I had an experience a while back, which my Mav 2 'Bud' survived, fortunately where I was flying and for some goofy reason I had controller connection issues [later found I needed a new RC cable]...
and, in mid flight, the home point suddenly reset to 'Bud's' current position - which obviously would result in a RTH fail
Fortunately I was able to navigate back manually & land.
I have found absolutely no 'setting home point' entry in the manual aside from a brief entry in RTH section.
I know , now, that I can set the home point to RC location so that's one option, but does that actually set a new home point via GPS at the RC's location when that method is activated
or does that method simply set the drone to 'home in' on the RC in real time rather than a stored GPS point.
A stored home point is always best for scenarios where RTH is activated when controller disconnects, as happens occasionally [its happened to me several times].
So I have a couple of questions re this.
1/ Any ideas why, during the flight I mentioned, the home point suddenly dropped out & reset to current location - what can cause this?
2/ So, in a situation where the recorded home point is lost,
A/ how can the recorded home point be restored or reset so the drone can RTH from the drones location even if controller is disconnected]
B/ Is it possible to reset a new home point using the map?
or does the setting RC location as home point physically set a new home point at that location that GPS can use?
Hope all that made sense
Cheers in advance
