Take a look at your TXT flight log to see if it explains what happened. You can upload and view it online here. If you need help reviewing it, please post a link back here after you upload it.

How about you tell us which model of Phantom you are flying and which display device you have on the RC unit. Without that information there is little anyone can do to help.

It’s surprising sometimes, that posters with query, are so vague about the important details that explain the whole sordid story. Ha

Just so you know, the number of satewllites reported in the Go App are the satellites that the aircraft can see. When using follow me, your iPhone needs to be able to see enough satellites so that it can report back to the aircraft where you are located. If the phone cannot successfully receive satellites, the whole process fails. A classic reason is that people set up Follow Me then get in a car and expectr it to follow them. In many cases, the iPhone cannot receive satellites reliably inside a car. Frankly, Follow Me is a dodgy process even when it is working.

My phone for some reason won’t connect to iTunes or my computer waiting for my genius appointment to get it fixed so I can do as u guys say I should do . And I was in the middle of a park where I have done follow me dozens of times now for some reason it won’t work . Guess I have to wait to get those logs before I can get help so I’ll post them when my phones fixed.
