When you takeoff with a DJI drone, you hear “The homepoint has been updated, please check it on the map”.
I'm wondering, how many people actually check it on the map?

Is that cause its electronic or female?Always, never trust that little voice
Sounds like a lot of trouble compared to just checking the map right quickIf I have concerns over the accuracy of the take-off home-point I fly the drone out beyond any behaviour thresholds and do a test RTH. if the home point proves not to my liking I bring the drone overhead and reset the home point to the drone's location.
Both!!!!Is that cause its electronic or female?
Yes, I'm divorced, lol.
Checking the map takes 1 or 2 seconds, making a test RTH takes a button press and maybe 20 to 30 seconds, that's neither a problem nor trouble as far as I am concerned.Sounds like a lot of trouble compared to just checking the map right quick
I wonder, should there be the option for a male voice, Battery Sergeant Major Williams comes to mind, can you imagine "you have crashed you idiot, oh dear, never mind" lol or James Earl Jones/Darth Vader breathing included.Is that 'cause it's electronic or female?

The 20 or 30 ft away is normal for the mini 2. Actually that's pretty good. The mini 2 has +/- of 66ft I think it was.Checking the map takes 1 or 2 seconds, making a test RTH takes a button press and maybe 20 to 30 seconds, that's neither a problem nor trouble as far as I am concerned.
Besides, say you are out in a large field with a copse etc. near the take off point or in a clearing in the woods etc., could you judge, from a featureless map, whether or not your home point was suitable? If so you are better at that than I am.
When, in such circumstances, I tried resetting the home point via the map, the error in my judgement of where the home point should be was enough to result in the drone returning to above a tree that was perhaps 20 to 30 ft away from where I had attempted to set the homepoint.
Featureless map? I always keep my map mode on 'hybrid', so I get a satellite view with all the features that I need to make any judgment that's necessary.could you judge, from a featureless map,
Take a read thru this thread, theres some mini 2 info on how rth works.Jeepers @Skwirl if your are talking about returning to a set-at-take-off home point your Mini 2 is wonky or something.
What are your satellite counts like?
With a home point set at take off and out in the open where I have no concerns about them clipping branches etc. on the way down, meaning I can leave it to land automatically, I would be concerned that something had gone wrong with the drone if my Mini 2 or Mavic Mini was more than 3 or maybe 4ft out.
Seriously 20 to 30ft is WAY off and 66ft is appalling. Even my phantom 3 is good for within 6ft and more often than not probably within 3ft.
If you do everything right before/during take off, ALL dji drones, past and present*, should RTH within at most a few feet. My MPP has always landed within just a few inches.theres some mini 2 info on how rth works.
