Look what just popped up on my Android DJI Go App screen after auto Android update 2/8/17:

"Dear Users,

An issue was detected in DJI GO for Android v3.12 (581) that may cause undesired operation of the home point setting for some users. We strongly advise you to upgrade to v3.1.2 (582) before your next flight. Failure to keep your product updated with the latest DJI software could result in the loss of your warranty and may create safety risks for your operation. If you require technical support.... Best regards, DJI"

Better late than never.

Thank you DJI.

This is probably it right here since it says 3.1.2 was updated Feb 7, 2017.

Just performed a simple test.
I have a Samsung Tab A with DJI 3.1.2 (581) that I have not flown with. When starting the app, it would locate my RC 2.5 miles to the west of my location.  I updated to todays 3.1.2 (582) and it now locates the RC within 100 feet of my position.
While this isn't conclusive as I wasn't connected to RC or AC, it appears to be performing as it should.  
I'll still wait for others to flry it.
BTW - the HERE maps are still HERE!
I'll continue to fly with 2.9.1 on my Samsung S5. No issues with that configuration so far.

I thought the problem with 3.1.2 is that it caused unwanted and incorrect home point updates...

Why are the last two posts discussing RC locations?

Because I think 581's handling of GPS cord's overall was screwed up whether it was Craft or Controller, but who knows?  there's a possibility the HP was resetting off either incorrect one.

Mark,
What I have seen is that the RC location (blue dot) is initially off in the distance and not where you are standing. This causes the distance to be very high, which has been reported.  When RTH is triggered the initial home point instantly moves to the (wrong) location of the RC. The AC then returns to that new far off point.  3.1.2 (528) now places the blue dot very close to where I stand.
Let me know if I have this wrong ....

Okay.  So you're saying that, for some reason, with 3.1.2 (581), the home point resets itself to where it thinks the RC, or more accurately, mobile device, is located.  I didn't realize this.  

So it really has two problems.  

1)  It, for some reason, shows an incorrect location of the mobile device, and

2)  Resets the homepoint to what it thinks is the location of the mobile device upon RTH

And 3.1.2 (582) fixes both these bugs.  

Thanks for explaining.
