Strange title but that is my question after all the research I have done on various sites, tutorials etc. For a few weeks I have been cautiously flying my spark at low level and try to keep it in view. Here is my issue. I am in my 70's and when the spark gets around 80' high or higher its hard for me to see it since it is white and so small. The same applies when the distance gets farther regardless of the altitude. I would like to fly it higher and over the trees or at least a little distance from me to take some nice videos. I'm aware of the RTH feature but I don't want to count on that to return my spark each trip out. I thought the map would leave a yellow trail line that I could retrace back home. That trail only seems to show in the replay of the flight log and not during it when flying. I then though perhaps the radar would direct me the correct way to home point but that is really confusing. I know I can get some bearings by knowing my flight pattern and recognizing the terrain and my position and try to see it on my iphone screen. Can anyone tell me a simple and reliable way to see where I am flying and get me home safely? I don't intend to fly to the point my battery automatically sends it back. Is RTH the standard practice for return? Seems like all the videos I watched that is what they do, taking chances flying so far out. I'd love to have a simple easy to understand instruction for someone like me who doesn't understand all the tech language that makes it even more confusing to us senior newbees. I have an iphone 6 plus and use a controller.....
