I think I know the answer to this but just confirming.
I want to take my P3A on a boat and use the "follow me" mode. No way to set a home point since were moving...correct?
Just don't forget that you also need some sort of GPS at your RC location for follow me to work. Same for resetting the HP to your RC's location. You can still always reset the HP to your AC's location however. Note that GPS at your RC can be if you are using your phone as a mobile device, most android tablets, cellular enabled iPads, an Inspire RC, or an external GPS device. Wifi only iPads do
not have GPS and Tethering does
not share GPS data for this purpose.
It's important to understand that even though we call it "dynamic home point" it is actually
not dynamic (changes on it's own) when using GO. When using GO, you need to
manually change the static HP each time you want to move the HP.
Keep in mind that follow me is sort of slow, so it wont follow a speeding boat or car.
Most people who have commented here about best practices on a boat also say they at least hand catch, but often also hand launch.
You can find many tips in a search, such as setting RTH to hover as noted earlier by tcope.
Good luck and happy new year!
