Hi,

I am doing some initial updates and set up of Mavic on my wooden table. After all the updates and set up, I turned it on with controller and the phone.

What happens is it seems to switch between atti and gps mode all the time. Controller says atti mode and vibrates, some vps icon shows up on the app screen, then it switches back to gps mode. Then the story repeats, switches to atti mode, lady says atti mode, vps icon shows up and switches back to gps. And so on.

I am close to window but just wondering, if it is possible that it keeps catching gps satellites and loosing them, hence this crazy loop?

That's exactly what's happening, or at least when has always happened when I turn on the Mavic indoors near a window. What really matters is that it goes into GPS mode and stays there when you're outside.

Agree with DroneFlying, please test more when you are outside.
