Simple question...Does my phone need to be connected to the internet for my GPS map to work? I tried my phone (galaxy s8) which always done a great job with the spark. It no longer has internet connection but last couple times I went to fly my GPS was not working. I'm afraid to takeoff without...

That is very strange as it seems you had cleared all checks before take off. What was your RTH altitude set at and how many satellites did you have? Last do you have another drone you can put up in the area to search where it may have went down?
