    love this drone flying stuff !!!!

    I do enjoy flying. During this time of social distancing, it's something I can do alone to have fun while trying to improve my skills. Fortunately, there is a very large beautiful park nearby with many wide open spaces. I can fly there without getting close to or flying over other people...

    Compass heading

    Thanks for the suggestions. Because of COVID 19, my flying locations are limited. I'll try to find a big open space and do what you suggest.

    Problem with map and radar

    Following on from flying a Phantom / Mavic etc. ?

    I flew a friend's plastic drone and was fascinated, so I bought a cheap one. Once I learned to fly that one I got a Phantom 4 Pro + and really got hooked. I now have the Phantom, a Mavic 2 zoom and a Mavic 2 Pro. I use all three for photography, but the Phantom is still my favorite...
