I've been watching a couple of YouTube video's and on most of them in the center bottom of the screen there is an indication of the relative position of the drone to the controller. How to enable that? It doesn't show on my iPhone with the latest version of the Fly app. In the attached screenshot there's an indication of what I mean (screenshot taken from YouTube).

That is the old style directional icon, the new one is accessed in the lower left. Click it to open up and to switch from map view to a similar icon with slightly different features.

Thanks, I’ll try that the next time I fire it up.
Just by clicking the map? Doesn’t that just make the map fullscreen?

Whilst on this subject there is something I don't understand about the current functionality.. Why does the app start with a small square in the bottom left that shows nothing.. When you press it you then open up the small map.. And then another press to get the compass. But you can't get back to the small square icon again.. So why does it start like this?

It could be argued that it declutters the display.. But if that was intentional, why can you not go back to the original state.. It just seems odd to start with an icon which offers no functionality.

Am I missing something?

Have you been living under a rock? How would you not know the app has been updated and thus, also the aircraft indicator. Maybe you should take up a different hobby, no?

Maybe because I've only owned a drone a couple of weeks. No need to write in such an offensive manner... Keep it calm mate...
