If you want to change the home point, you should reset the home point before initiating RTH. Otherwise, your Mavic will return to the original home point.

Then set the height so you can...

 

[msinger]

The RTH altitude can be set in the following section of DJI GO:



Just make sure it's set high enough to clear all obstacles in the flying area.

may sound stupid but how do you reset the home point without RTH again is there a reset to erase the old one

 

[msinger]

You can reset the home point at any time in the following section of DJI GO:

 

[Simmo]

Or swipe the camera screen from right to left.

 

[msinger]

You got it. Swiping from the right to left will show the following menu:

Can't you set it to remote control RTH?

What exactly do you mean by that?

 

[joejaxvic123]

I thought there was an option to set RTH to the location of the controller, if you move from take off point, the bird will come back to the controller. I may be hallucinating....

See msinger's screen shot above. Homepoint ME. Which will only work if your device has a gps module in it.

Yeah I thought that is what “Home point me” was. Can someone explain that once and for all to me please?

 

[joejaxvic123]

Oh, sorry. You select 'homepoint me'. I didn't look at the pics.

 

[msinger]

That feature resets the home point to the mobile device's current location. If you move your mobile device, the home point will not follow your remote controller.

oh good idea thank you didnt know that

I wonder about changing your home location because I think the original home comes from your MP gps but the new one will come from your mobile device. The sensors might give different location results (but probably close).

It depends how you reset the home point. If you reset the home point to the Mavic, it uses data from the Mavic's internal GPS receiver. If you reset the home point to your current location, it uses GPS data from the mobile device.

I didn’t even think about that. I have to check and see if my Asus zenpad tablet has gps.
That would suck!
Thanks for the heads up.

Always look into the GO app “map” screen. There are vital info such as:
1. The direction of MP is heading
2. Traces of MP path
3. The location of Home point assigned to the DJI system ( vs to what you think the HP is)
4. .....etc
