Is there a record for the lost (Mini SE) drone's last known GPS position stored somewhere in my phone/ DJI Fly app? How to access them?

There was no internet connection when it crashed and I lost it. I will organize a search tomorrow, and I followed/searched the last known coordinate of the crash in my app, up until the RC (and drone) ran out of battery. I wanted to show the others the crash coordinate for tomorrow's S&R.
Thanks!


Apologize for double posting

In the Fly app,  go to Profile -> right hand menu,  Find My Drone.   Last recorded place will be shown.

Many thanks. I will try and contact support.
While it was regretful that this happened (bummer ), but I could say that I had good experience with the drone these past week. (yea, it's only a week old )
Re: the drone's last GPS position, I search nearby it's last known position. I also read something about telemetry. i don't know how to access it, and if that will help in this case.

I was gonna ask which drone would be compatible to the Mini SE's batteries (since I still had 2 perfectly working batteries).

But I found it! https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... p;page=1#pid2730052

Out of topic question:

Is there a rule against posting Youtube channel of our drone footages? Not promotion or anything, just sharing and requesting input/suggestions. Is there a specific place to post, if it's allowed?

So i had similar issue with my Mini 3 Pro. my second flight and I couldn’t bring it back while the battery was going down. I tried everything i could to bring back the drone but nothing works and it crashed. I used my second drone (skydio2) to searched if i could get the location but still nothing. So after Iike an hour, i went inside and connect my RC to Wi-Fi and went to check my gps. So i saw it and i navigated to the place. Luckily for me, it landed safely and the security picked it up. So i dashed him some coins and i got my drone back. So to add, i forgot how to tell the drone to fly back home. I should have done that.
