Just a question regarding home point. I flew my P4A for the first time yesterday after checking and getting the green gps good to fly I noitice my home point wasn’t set. My home point symbol on my radar map was yellow it said weak gps signal Is that from my phone having a weak signal or my drone. I reset my home point to my rc location I got a green message with a check mark. But the home point symbol on the radar map stayed yellow. I flew in beginner mode to be safe but want to try RTH but worried about the yellow home point is this normal.
Were you flying where the Phantom had a clear view of the sky?
Or was a significant area of the horizon/sky blocked by trees, buildings or terrain?
If the Phantom has a good, clear skyview and it doesn't have a malfunctioning GPS unit, it should always have full GPS reception.
The message would not be related to your phone as what's important for flying is the location data for the Phantom.
The Phantom records a homepoint as soon as it gets a good GPS position fix.
When you see green - good to fly, it will have recorded the home point.
You can easily confirm by checking the distance at the bottom of the screen.
If there is a homepoint, the app can show the distance from home.
No GPS and the app can't show the distance.
If in doubt, the recorded flight data will show exactly what was happening.
To check that, go to
