I have the dji mavic 2 zoom if I hit the RTH button will that return drone to my controller or last know coordinates. I'm about 180 miles from home. I would hate to see my drone try to fly back to home 180 miles away

The manual doesn't come with the drone.The manual that came with drone is quite skimpy.
It is possible to have the drone return to the RC (actually the mobile device using GPS) but you have to set this up manually.Thanks my ADHD is kicking in. Makes it difficult to recall. I was reading some blogs it discussed drone returning to controller . I was bit confused

It would be highly recommended to do a compass calibration when you arrive at your new location.
To clarify, it is possible to reset the home point to the mobile device's current location (if using a mobile device that contains a GPS receiver). After moving, the home point needs to be reset again.It is possible to have the drone return to the RC (actually the mobile device using GPS) but you have to set this up manually.
Lots on YouTube on setting the home point.Thanks my ADHD is kicking in. Makes it difficult to recall. I was reading some blogs it discussed drone returning to controller . I was bit confused

Your understanding is incorrect. Distance from anywhere makes no difference to your compass. That's not whst compass calibration is about at all.Lots on YouTube on setting the home point.
My understanding is that if you are a significant distance from your last home point, ( say 50 km or more), your drone will require that you do a compass recalibration. I believe that this is because the angle between true north and magnetic north varies, according to where you are on the surface of the globe. (Please correct me if I’m wrong.
If I was 180 miles from my last home point, I’d expect to be required to do a compass recalibration. If I wasn’t required I’d either do it anyway, or do a short test flight, say 200 metres away, and hit RTH to see how it behaved.
Thanks for picking me up. So what’s it all about then?Your understanding is incorrect. Distance from anywhere makes no difference to your compass. That's not whst compass calibration is about at all.
