Mini 4 Pro fully autonomous waypoints in the US only

[solidhouse]

It appears that the Mini 4 Pro has fully autonomous waypoints and will continue on signal loss in the US. However, waypoint continue on signal loss is disabled in Europe.

What says 'continue' will be restricted to the USA?

What says 'continue' will be restricted to the USA?

For waypoints when signal is lost during an active mission, the charts says these are your options followed by the country in which they are available:

RTH: USA, EU, ROW
Hover: USA, EU, ROW
Land: USA, EU, ROW
Continue: USA, ROW

I wonder if the option is missing, greyed out, or simply doesn't function. What a shame.

ROW = ? Rest Of World perhaps? If so ....... Q.E.D

It says in your pic it’s just for Europe that there is no waypoint continue.

Which means the rest of the world has "continue" and that was my point.

Not that it affects me (I'm in Canada) but this seems awfully restrictive. If you want to plot a waypoint mission that takes you behind a structure/building/other obstacle for a moment (assuming you have a spotter to remain compliant with your local flight laws), being able to continue the mission on signal loss is huge, since it is likely temporary.

So, is it true that waypoints are uploaded to the Mini 4 Pro, and that it can continue a “waypoint mission” on (temporary) signal loss (in USA) ?
I think the answer is “yes”, but am still a little fuzzy. . .

Yes. Page 41 of the user guide: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mini_4_Pro/DJI_Mini_4_Pro_User_Manual_EN.pdf

Is the function in the app or is it enforced by a GPS geofence?

Thank you Sir !
I had read that, but somehow had become convinced that all the newer DJI drones used the
Virtual Stick Commands, hence the confusion. Misinformation !
This is great news, as I hope to have a Mini 4 in a few weeks (Happy Birthday to me).

The option "Continue" is just missing in EU

So waypoints continue with mission in Mexico!
