Does anybody know where they moved the Smart RTH switch in the app.  I want to turn off the halfway point on the battery, this is crucial while flying from a moving boat

That was intensively discussed here a while ago.
It wasn't moved. It's gone.

If you are in a moving boat, it can be much more difficult to fly. Please be careful as you do not want to crash the aircraft into the water.

Thank you for the response. I have experience flying from moving objects.  I was just curious why they removed this option its still on I1 Pro and Mavic , but not P4P.  I have a production shoot coming up and this complicates the logistics on the shoot. Is there any other way to remove it by disabling another option.  I understand that I can reset the home point to the aircraft position, but this way seems to be very cumbersome and inefficient scrolling through menus and resetting every so often. Thank you

As a work around you could manually reset the home point to current aircraft position throughout the flight. This would reduce the chances of it hitting the low battery RTH point, or if it did the aircraft would be close enough to cancel RTH and manually land the P4P on the boat.

They just introduced a function for the Mavic to update home point to current aircraft position periodically when using active tracking.

The odd thing is that it was left on the P4 and Mavic builds.

Aardvark yeah I saw that, they should let the aircraft update the home point periodically if aircraft is selected on RTH.

4 options would be nice
- take off point
- RTH aircraft position
- RTH pilot position
- RTH continuous aircraft position with hover default  

in GPS and ATTI modes

Agreed.  That is logical.
