How is that MA still dont have those functions even thos SPark does? Its pathetic that we have to use 3rd party app to fully enjoy our drone.

The way DJI threats Mavic Air is ridiculous, if we wont get DHP and Waypoints before Mavic 2 Release i will ask for refund.

Hi, sorry that the dynamic home point and waypoints are not available with the Mavic Air, unfortunately, we don't have information if this will be available with our Mavic Air. Thank you for understanding.

PiVor,
Maybe I've missed it, but  the Spark doesn't support Waypoints in the DJI Go 4 app.  In order to do waypoints with the Spark, you have to use Litchi, Autopilot, or some other 3rd party app.  The same is true for the Mavic Air and was actually implemented sooner in the Mavic Air SDK than in the Spark.

Also, Dynamic Home Point on the Spark really isn't all the useful.  It is only available when using Gesture mode or when dynamically tracking a person (not car, etc).  And the dynamic home point isn't anything to do with where the RC is at, it is only updating the home point to a new point at where the Spark is at once its moved more than 15 meters.  
Maybe your usage profile is different than mine, but quite honestly, unless you are using active track to follow you while running, it is mostly useless on the Spark.

I think you need to head back to the MA manual and compare it with the Spark features.  Neither the Spark nor Mavic Pro has Waypoint and Dynamic Home Point.  It only show up in gestures and doesn't behave like true Waypoint.  Spend $ 22-25 and get Litchi.  It's probably easier then trying to get a refund for your used aircraft :-)  And if you buy the next version of the Pro, carefully read the documentation first to make sure your getting ALL the features you're interested in BEFORE pushing the [buy] button.

Get Litchi. Even if the MA had waypoints, the way DJI implements them is that you have to fly the mission first and record each point as you go.

Litchi lets you sit on your couch and plan out the mission on your laptop. You can even plan missions out of signal range. Kinda of exhilarating to have your drone lose connection and you have to sit on your hands hoping/waiting for it to return...or not
https://flylitchi.com/hub

The reason DJI does it the way they do is that using the Litchi hub, it is really easy to not realize that the ground level changes, or someone put a tree or cellphone tower in the path between two points. If your MA is turning on a curved path it could easily side swipe a tree while you are in signal loss. When you fly the mission first you can see all that in your display.

On what possible basis are you going to ask for a refund?

The manual, quickstart guide, and website are pretty descriptive about the things it can do.

STILL nothing about implementing what must be a fairly trivial feature—lame.
