Will  eventually be using my drone on my moving boat.   So I want the drone to return to my controller.  Do I have to select this each time after the flight has started or can I make it the default return setting?
Will the position of my controller update as the boat moves and the drone will return to the current position?

Thanks

The option to reset the homepoint to the controller, resets the homepoint to the current location of the controller.
It does not continually update based on the future positions of the controller.
You do not want to let RTH bring your drone back and autoland on a boat and will have to hand catch it.

Hi, djiuser_0PD0vEUOw8k8. Thank you for reaching out. After the aircraft is powered on, the default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong to moderately strong (white) GNSS signal. The Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak, then the Home Point cannot be updated. If there is a deviation between the updated Home Point position and the actual takeoff position or when the pilot is moving (in this case, the aircraft is not required to return to its automatically-recorded Home Point, such as when following a vehicle or ship), the Home Point must be updated manually.

There are three ways to update the Home Point:
Go to Camera View. Tap “Settings” in the top-right corner. Go to the “Safety” page and tap “Update Home Point”.

(1) Tap “OK” directly to update the Home Point to the current aircraft position.

(2) Tap the remote controller icon in the top-right corner and then tap “OK” to update the Home Point to the mobile device position. (Be sure that the mobile phone has a strong GPS signal.)

(3) Drag the Home Point to any position. Tap “OK” to update the Home Point to the dragged position.


Hope this helps. Thank you for your support.
