Hi,

I do have 2 questions:
Q1: does the "distance" to Mavic Pro, displayed on the RC, depends on GPS signal ?
Q2: if the Mavic Pro is in RTH move, and if suddenly the RC is disconnected, will the Mavic continue his way to RTH?

Thanks

Q1: Yes, GPS is used to calculate the distance between the MP and the Home Point
Q2: Yes. If the RC looses connection, the MP will return home on it's own, assuming you have properly set the home point prior to take off and specified this behavior in the configuration. RTH is not the only option when signal loss occurs, but it's the default one unless you change it.

Thanks to the answers above.
1. Yes, the distance displays on the app and RC when there is fine GPS signal.
2. Yes, if RC signal loss during RTH, the drone will continue its process. But if there is no GPS signal at that time, the drone can not fly back because the drone could not recognize its direction.

RTH due to loss of signal is called fail safe mode
