Perhaps you are in beginner mode which wont allow start up without GPS? Just a wild guess with very little info to go on.

Beginner mode? the three position switch??

Beginner mode is set in the app itself. If you are in beginner mode it will not allow you to start the props without GPS lock.

the ap doesn't need to be installed to fly solo, huh??

 

[Phantomcruise]

No flying without ap installed? Only the ability to disable GPS in ap once installed??

Are you trying to fly without a monitoring device? ( Phone, Tablet?).....

This thread ( and another previous one ) sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Maybe its just me.........

It would be useful to have more information on what you are trying to do.
If you are a new flyer, just starting out, you must activate your aircraft (register it with DJI) before you can do anything.
You have to use the app to be able to do this.
You also need to master (at least) basic flight before you try flying without GPS.
Otherwise you are probably looking at a fast track to crashing.
