Tried to use Follow me mode for the first time and got " Air Craft is too far away ". Brought it closer to me( within 10 meters ) still got message.
Shut everything off and tried again. Now I get this.

The Follow Me mode uses the GPS receiver in your phone to tell the aircraft where the RC unit is, and therefore you. In order to work, location services or its equivalent must be enabled. Although it is supposed to use the GPS signal from the phone, many phones cannot obtain a reliable GPS fix without resort to the Wireless Positioning Service, meaning you need to have a functioning cell service.
