Same problem. Says my RC's gps is too weak so unable to obtain GPS.

yupper same as mine....kinda sucks just about forgot to set the RTH with the quad on the ground... had to land it and mark that spot

It automatically sets home point when you take off. You don't have to do it manually.

ok ill give that a go......i set the quad in the car and moved a mile up the road my home point showed a mile up the road ....not a good thing if some thing goes wrong and it flys a mile away and lands on the road

Can you explain your exact steps to set dynamic home point?
Is your dot on the map red or blue?
Are you setting before or after take off?
Go through your steps that cause the issue.

I have the bird in the air. I have moved about 500ft from the original take off point. I then push the icon on the screen and then the man icon with an H next to him. I get the following message "Weak RC GPS Signal, Cannot acquire location info." Funny thing is I get the same message no matter what condition. I just tried it right now. The iPad is not connected to an RC and the AC is in its case and I still get this. Image attached. Makes me think it is an app bug. I tried my iPhone and got the same results.

Yeap same for me can't set my rc as homepoint.GPS is weak is what my app tells me.But also app tells me that homepoint is set when I take off.

OK thanks, possibly a bug, I will try and replicate it tomorrow and post it in the firmware bug thread if more people report this.

Just out of curiosity (and yes I know there is a GPS RX in the remote) has anyone tried setting dynamic home point with their GPS turned on in their tablet?
I am just curious of the result in that scenario.

I am having the same problem getting the weak RC warning no matter where I go. I didn't know so many people were having the same problem. I even tried making my slave controller the master still the same message. The screen even shows my location correctly on the screen and it seem to give the exact distance from the RC to the aircraft. Tried changing setting in my note4 but always the same thing.

Correct - it's a bug that is currently being worked on.

Hi,

Doesn anyone know if this bug has been resolved in the latest updates? For me it seems no. I am a bit unsure if it's only me that still has the problem since there hasn't been any forumtalk on this issue anymore for some time now.

Yeap it's solved on Android version 1.0.10.Tested and it works great!

Hm, do you mean the DJI Pilot app? I have version 1.1.0 and still get the message that my RC has a too weak GPS signal to set the RC as home point.

Yes it's version 1.0.10 Android app.Just found out 1 week ago that it works.Start your flight and fly away about 20 feet.Touch your homepoint settings and when you select RC as homepoint it shows the distance from your RC to the Inspire.I did test it and it works.
