This has now been reported several times, so let's see how frequent this is.

Luckily, I left the option to change vote openNever -- so far! Of course, now that I've 'voted', we all know what will happen. And as the recent election has demonstrated, we all know how accurate polls are [emoji57][emoji848][emoji13].

Try your browser. Maybe the app is lacking.
Ok, we do not know the extent of the gps problems (yet), but we do know that the forum app is lacking on all platforms
Sure didn't get a lot of turnout on this pole did we? LOL. But yes hopefully we get a good update here very soon for several little issues. But this GPS deal is no little issue for those having it happen!So, I think we can assume the results are not statistically valid (with 50% having problems); still there certainly are some issues with gps. I hope this can be corrected by a firmware update.
I can tell you that when your new drone suddenly starts following the wind above a large body of water, it feels like a big issue there and thenBut this GPS deal is no little issue for those having it happen!
Dang man! What a scare! Worst feeling in the world for sure. Only had that happen with me flying a Blade Chroma a year ago. Like you lucky to get it back. And it started when I was only out about 400ft. Wind blew it quick.Glad you saved it for sure. Really weird that data indicates that it had solid GPS but is loose. But then gets back by RTH? Wow!Hi, I'm new here. Done about 40 flights with the P4P in some really challenging places. Suddenly yesterday it stopped holding location and blew away very quickly in a moderate wind yesterday, disappearing swiftly out of sight over buildings. Gave me a heck of a fright. Resorted to RTH and had a nerve wracking wait before it reappeared. Not very happy. Similar effect to switching from P to Atti in a strong wind. Logs show GPS and 17-18 satellites throughout. More info here if you're interested: Phantom 4 PRO blew away suddenly & quickly. Feel lucky to have it
Hi rob can you get the dat file for that flight and upload to a Dropbox.com link? We could tell you more about what the craft was seeing. How to retrieve a .DATHi, I'm new here.
