Fwiw there's another thread on this subject at http://forum.dji.com/thread-89659-1-1.html
A few things I've gleaned from the forums and my own experience:
The GPS accuracy needed for maps is purportedly far less than what is needed for Follow Me to work, but at least you know you are getting some GPS signal.
The GPS satellite count is useful, but the number of good satellite signals is likely more important. Unfortunately, DJI Go 4 won't tell you that, but you can see it in your logs if you upload them to a service like https://app.airdata.com/main?a=upload
I've had mixed success with this mode and much better luck with Active Track. The only real suggestion I have for you is to try the Follow Me feature with the Mavic is at a higher altitude than 6m, I finally got it to work with my iPhone 7 at 14m and above after the app complaining about weak GPS at launch, and someone noted that Follow Me requires more altitude than Active Track. Maybe it's as simple as Go 4 giving us a "weak GPS" error message when the app should really be giving us an "insufficient altitude" message?
Good luck in sorting it.
