I have observed a "No GPS, Fly with caution" message popping up while mid-air long after establishing home point update confirmation, for the third time in three different flights.

It comes as instantly as it goes, the gps locks drops to 12 and then instantly goes up again simultaneously. This has been the case since dji fly v1.7.8. I never fly without home point update confirmation. Is the GPS module in my drone giving up or am I not alone?

You are not alone. It's been happening to me with many different aircraft.

Good to know. DJI should look into this. I have never faced this before that update or may have not noticed it at all.

Hi,

I am not surprised about the warning.

The GPS warning ghen flying low between high buidlings, so good GPS reception 'blocked'.
Rest of the flight no GPS warnings...
cheers

Hi,

Hi JJB* Thanks for this. The drone was ~50 feet high from the rooftop (take-off point) in the open sky so there was no building in-between, blocking the signal.

The other time I had this warning was when the drone hovering in the middle of a river within about a thousand feet distance from the RC.

oke,  but baro height minus 4.4 meter so thought is was lower that the rooftop...
as the low reception only once, signal must be blocked partly by the building.

BTW distance drone>RC has nothing to do with GPS warnings, GPS reception drone is only what matters.
cheers
