[QUOTE="mertsendag, post: 74748, member: 14962"] Hi guys. I have tried taking off in a better location. It was a car park of a university. There were in fact trees around but not very close and certainly there were no tall buildings. I have waited for some long minutes, my spark picked up satellites (only two bars), even entered GPS mode but still displayed a 'ready to go (no GPS)' message. [IMG]https://forum33.djicdn.com/data/attachment/forum/201812/31/010203nlz630pbsf0p34u5.jpg[/IMG] In flight, it switched to OPTI mode and displayed 'In flight (vision)' message. [IMG]https://forum33.djicdn.com/data/attachment/forum/201812/31/010424wbza8lxs8dvzss7l.jpg[/IMG] After that, it lost connection. I may have had a part in it as a 3 story building blocked the signal, but I definitely didn't expect such a drastic response. It said aircraft disconnected and started to auto-land. I have tapped cancel but it wouldn't listen (says command timeout). Thankfully, it did not harm anyone and didn't crash. Here is the picture of complete blank screen. [IMG]https://forum44.djicdn.com/data/attachment/forum/201812/31/010703jza411016eouemzu.jpg[/IMG] Hope I can get help with this, is this normal? Do you get signal only where it is a very very open area, do you have examples of less than perfect environments where you had GPS lock? Last question, in order to exceed 30 meters, do you have to have a GPS lock, isn't being in GPS mode enough to exceed that threshold? (In my case I cannot exceed 30 meters unless I have GPS lock which is rare in my case as you know) Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
