The limitations on waypoints/ground station on the P2V+ include a 500 meter radius from the home point, but you can set multiple waypoints for a total flight of 3.1 miles.
I would like to be able to go beyond 500 meters from the home point. For example, set one waypoint 1500 meters out, then set it to return to home afterwards. That would be a really nice feature to add. In the past I've set my P2V+ ready to fly, gps locked, set the home point in my yard, then quickly grab the P2V+ - leaving it powered on - and drive one mile away, launch, and then turn the remote off, so the P2V+ returns to home, and it flies fine all the way back to my house and lands at the home point with between 50 and 60% battery remaining. Setting the camera to record lets you be able to see the entire flight, and it is a lot of fun. It would be nicer if I could do this with waypoints and not have to be so risky.
In one extreme test, I set the home point in my yard, then drove 3 miles away, launched, and let it go home. The P2V+ returned to my yard flawlessly and watching the movie of that trip was amazing. I had about 30% battery left after a three mile flight.
