I almost lost my Air3 today. Was flying in an open area and updated my RTH position on the RC2 to where the controller new position were. I did not notice the message saying "No satelite positioning signal on mobile device. Move to to open Area". It did not accept the new RTH position and returned to the original launch position.

I tested it afterwards at other locations and got the same message. Satellites were 31. What can be the cause of this message and how can I correct it.

Thank you
 
Why do you tink you almost lost your Air 3? Does it not fly to wherever you want even when you get a warning that says "no gps." It is likely the drone cannot find the correct RTH location but your drone shouldn't go out of control just because you were unable to reset the homepoint. You said the drone returned to the original launch position so does that mean RTH was triggered but the original homepoint was no longer viable for you? Were you able to cancel RTH? Or perhaps your drone was at the very end of the battery and you realized you needed a new homepoint at that time? When I see "no gps" on my drone, I absolutely make sure I don't go somewhere where I can lose the connection.
