Has anyone noticed that it takes a long time to properly set the home point with the M3? I waited about 1 minute then flew the drone up a bit and then it stated home point setting.  I had no issues with the m2 in the same areas I'm flying..

Anyone else having this issue?

Maybe there wasn't a GPS lock yet.

There are a few threads which cover this topic.  Short answer is yes.  Longer answer is that others have reported it here, with various test and observations and mitigation strategies.

Yea I get that it just seems to take 2-3 minutes to get a lock where my M2 could do it in under a min (tested at same location)

Trouble setting Home Point on Smart Controller connected to Mini2.  I get a white rectangle with an up pointing arrow and a little
Remote Controller Icon, and an H in the middle.  There is nothing in the window but white and what I have described.  But the
words at the bottom: Drag to new position.  (I do not drag it because there is no place to drag it to, in that area).  Also below those words is white on black words "Cancel" "Ok", but when I press OK,
it says that it is downloading some maps and to try again later.
   Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.This has been taken care of in the correct forum.  4/6/2022

Maybe in the Mini 2 Forum and/or in the SmartController one?
