    No more map cache with P4P+?

    Also noticed that icon on the home screen doesn't seem to do anything now. Following this thread.

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Yes, running the latest firmware update. Thanks also for the link to the related thread above. Have done a few more low flights to test. Tested pano really close to the ground, but probably will stay away from using it until the next firmware update!

    P4p+ display not turning on

    Since no one else has replied yet, although I don't have an answer for you, I'll ask a couple questions: What happens with the four white lights and the status indicator (steady or blinking red/green/nothing) on the bottom of the controller? Does anything happen when you press the small button...

    Is there a flysafe geo fencing map that gives detail on a zone?

    Flying my P4P+ at my house, I'm getting an increasing number of yellow warnings which state: GEO You are approaching a Warning Zone (Power Plant). Fly with caution. There is definitely no Power Plant within 10 miles of here, and no major power plant within 25 miles of here, so I'm curious what...

    What's the best tool to examine the 170 MB .dat file for a case like this?

    P4P+ Album "No Photo or Video"

    I usually shoot photos and video and then transfer them directly off the drone's sd card to computer. Today, I tried some panos, and was curious if I could view them on the go app on the P4P+ controller. However, when I click Album in the bottom row (where there is Enter Device, Skypixel...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Thanks for the thoughts - appreciated. I just took the drone up again (up to 6' maximum just in case!), tried pano again including a sphere, 180, and horizontal pano within a 2-3 feet of where I did before, and the issue didn't happen this time. I noted that when the pano is capturing...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Thanks both of you! Burned into memory now. I was thinking if P mode failed it would start drifting and didn't consider a "locked in position" gps issue. Have others experienced a "locked in position" condition with P mode? Curious if it was just a P-GPS lockup of some kind causing it to get...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Second related question: If the control loss was related to something with the "Forward Obstacle Sensing is not functioning. Ambient Light is too weak" repeated warnings, what is the best way to turn off the obstacle sensing/avoidance? Is turning off the one slider "forward and backward obstacle...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Related question: If it was a GEO fencing error related to the erroneous yellow "GEO You are approaching a Warning Zone (Power Plant). Fly with caution." would A mode typically help you have some stick control to land? (I didn't see any red error and don't see anything but that warning relating...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Got it - that's right -- thanks. I guess I'm a bit rattled still.

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I was only 100' from the launch point. When I powered off and then back on the P4P+ controller, I only left it off for a ~2 seconds before powering it back on. (no RTH or landing was triggered I guess because it was off for such a short time, which in this case was good...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    I went to all warnings on the remote control and see the following: 3:48:02 GEO You are approaching a Warning Zone (Power Plant). Fly with caution. (I've seen this before ever since I got my P4P+ - this is at my home and I am 100% sure there is no Power Plant within 10 miles of here... the...

    P4P+ Pano mode, complete lockup, almost lost bird, what should I have done?

    Last night I saw a thread that pano mode had been added to the P4 Pro + controller now too, so I thought I'd give it a try today. Started off great, but ended with a major panic. I first took it up and did a sphere pano. Then a 180 and a horizontal. All seemed to go fine with the first three...

    Phantom 4 Pro+ Flight Data no map no satellite

    On my Phantom 4 Pro+ controller, if I click on flight data (the list of flights) and click on a flight, it shows me the path of the flights and where photos are taken, but it doesn't have any map background. It also doesn't have any satellite background if I choose satellite from the...
