[QUOTE="Mr Geek, post: 79119, member: 15144"] It's a good idea but I think for the scenario to play out as others have posted you need to be able to disable GPS while flying once you get more than the 30m threshold for full RTH routine (ascend, travel to HP and land) to occur as programmed and then observe the Spark's behavior. If you simply disable GPS from the start as you suggest it's a disaster waiting to happen I suspect and no data/coords/location for the point of GPS signal loss would have been recorded. I don't think there is a GPS on/off toggle in the app, if there is, then that might work. I don't know if DJI monitors this forum or not, I might send off an email because I am curious after reading multiple posts about this scenario and especially since the data is there from the onboard sensors to compute a return vector and altitude, etc. once both the home point and GPS failure point is set/recorded. I am also curious if that routine is built in, if it is it would provide some helpful insight when bad things happen and you are looking for a lost drone. Just info on behaviour that would be nice to know. [/QUOTE]
