Hi to All pilots. I have lost my drone and it was a pretty unremarkable flight. i was at 100m and 350m from home point when i lost transmission. I live in a rural area of Ireland and this happens often. After a minute i decided to activate return home however transmission did not return. I panicked and ran up a ridge to see if i could view the drone or hear it. i didnt have my glasses on and i wiped the flight records. I was angry but i lost it before and used the find my drone function to find it undamaged. I used the function again and this version of DJI GO tracks you to the drone position. I have used both the find my drone and the google maps alternative and despite being ontop of the drones coordinates the drone is not there. I have visited the site three times and searched thoroughly but to no avail. Have i missed something.  Regards Guy

without a flight record, there is not much help to give, methinks.

Hi S-e-ven. I thank you for taking the time to respond. I made mistakes and that is a given but I cannot resolve in my head why the drone is still showing a location in "find my drone" and it is not there. If it was a forest or dense vegetation I could resign myself to the loss. I have had a response from the support team which is positive I gave them the coordinates given by the facility.  The "find my drone" is a fantastic bit of tech I tracked myself from home to the site given. I have used it before and the drone was exactly where it was shown. I am losing faith on finding the drone but thank you for your support. Regards Guy
