Yes! I just suddenly had the same problem today. and yesterday all was ok.
I am a pro photographer using phantoms for several years and by know i think i am fairly advanced user.
I say it to confirm I know that switch is in right position, and everything else is set as it should.
Today I stumbled on an error or warning, which forced me to not do my job. I am on location, photographing kite surfers in a high wind, using my new P4P.
This new drone performed well so far (if you don't count crashing DJI4 Go app which is annoying when you are in the air, working).
Yesterday I had all systems ok and able to fly in high winds. Today, not changing anything at all - i brought my drone to shore to work - and it told me it is ready to fly in VISION mode only. Satellite positioning off. it said. But I had a max in satellite count, 17 or 18 at times. the little logo showing no problem with satellites. Yet - it keep saying positioning is off. i waited for a long time, restarted everything, and the same problem. I had to abandon my flight as very high, gusty winds over ocean can be a tricky thing without GPS, when i need to concentrate on best shots, not on keeping drone in stable position.
couple of hours later, in a slightly different place I tried again - and immediately had green Ready to Go GPS mode message. I flu up, and all was well, but couple of times for a brief moment it changed to the same message "Satellite Positioning off, fly with caution". Any idea why would that be? i am in barbados - a super flat terrain with no interference, plenty of satellite signal.
It makes my new drone not reliable for work. any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks and cheers to the group.
