Not getting my home point activation prompt no Matter how long I wait nor am I seeing my map in the left hand corner. Do I need a compass calibration.? Or what..... very scared to fly.
 
How many satellites do you have on the app - sometimes it needs 8 or so to set a home point ??

This is not related to the compass. The maps must either be cached prior to flight, or you must be connected to the internet.
Sattelite aquisition and the IMU Computations set the home point.
 
I will get as much as 11-13 and still waiting for audio verification and nothing. I am only confident when drone is speaking to me. Then the (no maps) on a black screen in the corner makes me very uncomfortable. . I haven't flown in months so I don't know if some kinda reset took place.

Have you changed the device you fly with? It should not matter, but as mentioned, you must be connected to the internet for maps, unless you cache them first.

Actually you do need internet for maps. You are accessing it via cellular. GPS on the phone is a seperate entity.
 
Glad you got it sorted out as I was gonna suggest there was a possible compass issue - I usually get 18-20 satellites - didn't think it was low volume on the mobile device either
