Today, I had the dubious honour of having to find my brand new one day old Mavic.
I was distracted by a friends Mavic which was also in the same vicinity, and mistaken it being mine, while mine was supposed to be doing RTH. When I saw it going the wrong direction seawards, I must have paniced and tweedled the sticks to try to stop it from doing so, not watching the screen, mine was actually near home and landed away from home in the mean time. So to my horror, when I looked at the screen, I saw it was showing a green surrounding, first, I was relieved that it has landed on land somewhere near me, but it could not take off because it got caught up with the bushes around it. So, I set out to Find My Drone !
Find My Drone ("FMD") only shows a red arrow, which I now know, is where the drone is, and a blue dot, I now presume it means its take off position. But that does not help me much, all I knew was, it is near by, in a genearl sort of driection. I would have hoped that it it shows my actual position and update it as I searched, so that I know, so that I know, my movement relative to the drone is correct or not....
Also I tried to expand the map a little, but it kept on returning to the same scale.
Unless I am doing something wrong, if so, please help me to use it properly, next time.
Or please improve that funtion.
I have v.4.1.18 DJI Go 4. app.
To cut a long story short, I found the drone wrapped up by surrounding bushes, undamaged.
cheers
