Hopefully someone can shed light on this.
I flew my Phantom 4 today the first time in 10 months. The last time I flew it was in the South Pacific where I calibrated the compass before the flight and had no issues.
After installing the DJI Go4 app (my firmware is still the old firmware from almost a year ago) I tried to calibrate the compass by tapping on the menu with the compass menu, but the compass said "normal" and there was no option I saw to calibrate it. The DJI Go app also said there was a restriction of 50 meters and 30 meters high. I closed this error window and tried to fly. The drone flew fine even with the compass calibration from the South Pacific! I also flew it well over 50 meters with no issues. What the heck?
So here are a couple of questions I hope you all can help me with.
1. Is the restriction error message only a message? Is it somehow enforced? I'm worried as I will be taking the drone again to the South Pacific in about a week and I don't want any issues.
2. What is going on with the Compass calibration? Why did it allow me to fly in Southern California when the last compass calibration was in the South Pacific? Why couldn't I access the compass calibration routine?
Any help is appreciated. I had no issues with the old DJI Go app, but my iPad automatically upgraded the DJI Go app, and I was forced to go to the DJO Go 4 app. The app wants me to upgrade the firmware, and I wouldn't normally have an issue with this except with all the issues with the firmware I hear about, I don't want any trouble this close to vacation.
Thanks
