I've been flying / building drones for many years. Purchased a spark for fun and was shocked the first time it did this during a waypoints Litchi cruise. Mission aborted and spark started (quickly) drifting away. Was able to recover it but it was trying to escape. This has since happened to me 3 different times and I have very luckily not crashed it but it drifts away fast and tries to ignore my sticks. Fairly shocking. Yes. I think my neighborhood affects the compass oddly as it wants frequent calibrations. Someone without a lot of experience would have crashed my Spark several times in the few weeks I've owned it.

Mine does the same thing in my neighborhood. Is there something I can do to increase or improve the GPS? Every time I switch to sport mode it shows my GPS in RED. Even now with or without being connected to my house WiFi I have only one bar of service. Is the low service to blame for the crappy GPS IN SPORT MODE?
