Even better if you hover at 7m altitude for a couple of seconds. Then precision landing works.
[Poll] The Homepoint has been updated, do you check it on the map?

That's part of what I meant when I said doing everything right before / during take off lol
Skwirl I have read that thread, I maintain that if you are routinely seeing RTH's with the inaccuracy you report there is something wrong with your drone. Or, perhaps, you are sending the drone away from the take off point BEFORE the drone has sufficient satellite lock to establish a home point and the drone is subsequently establishing a home point at some distance from the take off point.
to be perfectly honest, if you are stood 6ft away from the drone ,and wait till you get the take off message ,plus the green ok to fly at the top of the screen ,then you know exactly where the drone is ,if i tick the precision take off ,box on my MPP it always lands right on the mat ,the only indication i have on my map is the H and the arrow telling me which way i am flying and thats all i need to find my way home, for me that set of symbols is what the spoken voice is referring to when it says please check it on the map,because until a good sat lock has been established then those symbols do not appear ,and that is what it is asking you to check

I pay no direct attention, and don't need to.
Always checking telemetry constantly, I'd notice on takeoff if my distance was way off while I ascend to 20' to lock in a Precision Landing image.

wow on that point alone I'd never buy a mini2, when I rth my air it lands within a few inches of where it took of from,
I've never experienced RTH landing accuracy anywhere near that poor with the Mini 2.
I looked through the manual but found no mention of a landing accuracy figure. Can you locate it? Thanks.
I didn't see one either.
I did see hover accuracy listed in the specs and I think, using GOS alone, +-1.5m. That is in line with what I have seen when a Mini 2 'wandered' when hovering low down in a night time flight.
It would seem reasonable to me to expect the landing accuracy should be within twice that.

They're talking about RTH behavior when you're within 10m (guess, look it up in the manual), in which case it simply lands where it is.
Ok. Good. It sounded like you were saying that the accuracy of the RTH feature was +-66 feet of the home point.
Like most polls I come across the answer I want to give is not included. I prefer to always check but sometimes, even when I hear "The homepoint has been updated, please check it on the map” I fail to do so.
When I first got my drones I use to check it on the map. But after always finding it in the right spot on the map I stopped doing it. But I do wait to hear the notice or see it pop up on the screen
I remember having Mick Jager saying, "You got some letters" on AOL decades ago.

Never had a problem in 8 years, don't check it.
That's not why I don’t check it. I developed the habit way back with the P3 of constantly checking telemetry. It's unconscious habit now. If, at takeoff the home point was off significantly, I'd be aware of it immediately seeing a erroneous distance.
