[QUOTE="pacman_Spark, post: 52982, member: 322"] Thanks David. Things are certainly getting better all the time! On point 1... I understand ‘offline’ mode is designed to plan a mission, and HP is symbolic. But HP cannot be cleared. Waypoints and POI can be cleared but not HP. I think this is a mistake. If HP is not cleared then the Locate icon is always centred at this point, and I cannot re-centre on my real location unless I move the map and place a new HP. I hope that makes sense? On point 4... with no aircraft connected, the map centres on the real HP by using the device location. That is correct. The problem is that when the aircraft is connected the gps is being read from the aircraft. That’s fine when there are satellites, because the map centres on the real aircraft HP. However, when there are no satellites the map is set at 0N 0E, but I want it to still be set to the device location. In other words, when there is nothing else to go on, centre the map at the device location. I think it is safe to say that if the aircraft is connected but doesn’t have enough satellites it has to be at the same location as the operator (at the device location). As Red Waypoint is essentially a mission planner app, and flying a mission relies on GPS, I think you should prevent a mission from being run if there are less than, maybe, 8 satellites. Or at least show a warning if a user tries to take off/run mission without a certain number of satellites. That way you can’t be blamed for any fly-always. On point 5... I also have a Mavic Pro. I am intending to test this as well! [/QUOTE]
