Hi,

Never happened to me before thru all the drones I have flown from P3A, P4, P4P and Mavic until yesterday. It was the third time getting ready to fly the P4P+ and I had a feeling to check the home location after it said "HOME LOCATION SET" and to my surprise it was set to "BERLIN, GERMANY" SAY WHATTTTT!

I turned off the AC/ RC off and then restared check the home location and it was the "US" again!!!

Did this happen to anyone else???

Fro now on I will always set the home location MANUALLY...

This happened some time ago as well, there were a number of cases where the home location was set to a point in the Atlantic Ocean just south of Ghana, as this is the location you would go to if all the numerals in the GPS setting were zeros.

But this one was actively showing the center of Berlin and flashing...

Yes, and it just goes to show that there is almost no data checking going on in reading the GPS data.
