Greetings. Clearly I'm a greenhorn here. Enjoying the heck out of the MP despite some idiot moments (thinking I could hover indoors without finding the ceiling but finding the ceiling; having to make an emergency landing on the roof of my employers building, in beginner mode, long story...) but doing better since then :-)
Lately though this app has been unable to determine pilot location. Claims device GPS signal weak. I'm on an iPhone 7 using the stock clamp setup on the RC unit (have since ordered one of those mount riser do-dads from Amazon). When the MP is in-flight I'll try to reset the homel ocation to pilot location but will get a popup saying the device location cannot be determined. This has happened at a few locations now so I don't think it's environmental radio interference or anything like this.
To explain a little clearer:
- Start with everyone off of course. Mount iPhone 7 in RC unit. Fire up DJI GO 4 app, turn on RC unit.
- Turn on MP, let RC connect and "Enter Device" in the app.
- At this point, the app has my pilot location (blue dot). Once I fire up the props (CSC command) and take flight manually, new home point is established (drone's own start location) and the pilot location is no longer on the map.
- I try to reset the home location to the pilot location but now get the popup that the device location cannot be determined, w/ a little yellow warning claiming weak device GPS. Sorry I don't have screenshots of the app as it's basically impossible to do with the phone mounted in the RC's clamps
I'm not sure what's going on here, if I'm missing a setting or what or if the GPS is really that weak on the device. I don't have issues with other GPS apps (Waze, google maps, etc).
Thanks for any tips on subject!
