Sometimes the app can be overwhelmed with too many things happening at once.Yes i second this question. Can someone please confirm.
I'm having the same issue and the voice never says "Home Point Recorded", volume is always on set on high. It sometimes announces correctly and sometimes doesn't. Also "Returning Home" Its sometimes says it and doesn't.
But whether you hear the homepoint message or not isn't important.
While the drone is warming up and acquiring satellites, the distance shown in the app will be N/A.
As soon as the drone gets a GPS position fix, you get the Green P-GPS Ready to fly at the top of the screen and the distance now becomes live.
If you are seeing a distance from home, you know that you have GPS and you have a home point.
