Sometimes we are flying without vision of the Drone, how to know if we are pointing the RC antenna directly to the Drone? Can we got this information by telemetry?

The map/radar should cover this as it shows the craft position & orientation relative to the pilot at all times.

You may not always be able to "see" your drone, but you should ALWAYS know where it is in relation to where you are....

Agreed. All the info on the screen is useless if you can't read it and even more so if you don't keep up with where your quad is at all times. That being said, Helidan is right. The arrow on the GPS Map is the front of the bird.

Also, make sure the long side of the antennas are pointing at the aircraft, not the tip.  This can change depending on whether the aircraft is flying overhead or off to the side.

Good post. I did not realize this the first time out so I kept getting weak signal when hovering above me during landing. Second flight out I was ready!

Unfortunately I use a tablet Samsung S10 and it´s not compatible with DJI GO, them the radar does not work properly, I already calibrated the compass, but it did not work
There is here a topic talking about it, and everyone has the same problem

If you are losing FPV, try using windsurfers to increase penetration and signal reliability. These are parabolic reflectors that can double your distance by focusing the signal.

Dears, I´m not losing the signal and I´m using the antenna correctly (learned after seeing some post)
But I have a Sansung Tablet and the radar doesn´t work properly with this tablet, I have already calibrate the tablet, but nothing work,  Then when I´m flying and I can´t see the Bird, I do not know where to point the antenna, since the radar does not work properly
