Mavic fly away, changed home point during flight

Amen. Sometimes I just scroll through responses until see a response from msinger. Saves a lot of time.

I don't think we answered the OP's question concerning what can be done in the event something like this happens again. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to cancel an RTH by tapping the red X, yes?

Where do you find the app version on the flight log?

I uploaded your log to HealthyDrones.com since it's displayed there. You could also convert the log using the TXT-to-CSV Log Converter app. It's not as quick if you just need to find the app version number, but it's a great tool if you want to access the additional data points not shown in my log viewer and at HealthyDrones.com.

It won't happen again since the OP is not going to use that version of DJI GO again. However, if you know your Mavic is returning home, you can press the RTH button on the remote controller to cancel RTH. That'll of course only work if the Mavic is still connected to the remote controller. When the above scenario occurs, most pilots don't realize what's going on until the Mavic is already out of range.

There are too many things that need to be in order for it to work and it's too easy for one of them to fail.

Could you please explain all those things?

I think another question that needs to be asked is: why did you use return to home in a non-emergency situation?

Actually it's SMART to test your RTH. I always do it. I climb to 20' below my RTH altitude, then move 100' away and test RTH.
