I read with some concern this thread: https://forum.dji.com/thread-188315-1-1.html which describes the loss of a Mavic by flying into a 'popup' NFZ. To prevent incursion DJI will land the drone at the point of contact with the NFZ- it does not RTH. Hence the distress. The best advice offered to the pilot is to check DJI geofencing with the Fly Safe Geo Zone app before flight.
I have been trying to get reliable performance of the app on the Smart Controller without sucess. It seems to be browser dependant (only woks on Lightning) and intermittent in finding my location. This seems to be linked to a failure to use the Google Mobie Sevices aspect of Android. Despite some Google services being restored by the 4.3.16 patch most mapping aps fail including the CAAs DroneSafe app.
If I look at the location mode settings I find I have 'Device only' as my only option, if I try and use the 'High accuracy' mode it is rejected.
These tools are key to safe operation and should be available on the controller.
