When I set the home point after taking off, I never get a confirmation that it has been recorded, either by voice or on the screen, even with a good GPS connection. How do I know for sure that it has been set?

Perhaps related, the map box on the screen is always black. It never shows my location nor the orientation of the AC. Do I need to have a map service of some kind loaded on my phone as well? (I'm new to cell phones, too.) (Android)

It's an android phone, Samsung (5, I think, which should be okay). Everything is updated.

Everything on the phone that I'm not using has been turned off. I don't remember if I turned off Google maps, or if I can, but does it need to be turned on somehow?

Did you ever get it fixed?

Also, even if I can't get maps, I'd at least like to know if the home point has been set properly. Is there a way to check if it has been when there's no confirmation from the app?

Hi Prairie, the home point should be recorded before taking off, please check the safety tips preflight checklist video below, if still no good luck, please change a mobile device to try it again and let us know the update, thanks!

Actually though the DJI GO4 does not indicate on screen regarding the home point setting, it does it in the background. I have checked my flight logs and seen that it gets recorded as per our input. So no need to worry.

Okay, that puts me partly at ease, thanks. I'd still like to get confirmation just for my peace of mind.
