Using the GoApp beyond cell phone range, there is no map to confirm your home point. I thought I had cached the map beforehand but it did not come up when I opened the GoApp. Cacheing the map worked perfectly in Autopilot and the home point appeared correctly. But because I couldn't confirm Home Pt in the GoApp, I was concerned that RTH may not work as expected (with the GoApp or Autopilot) because my understanding is that at a new location, you fire up the RC, open the GoApp and fire up the Inspire and this ensures that the drone knows where Home Pt is.
I think the only way to get the right map in the GoApp ahead of time is to fire everything up (within cell phone range), zoom in on your flying destination on the GoApp map. Then shut it all down and travel to your flying destination?
Does anyone have any thoughts on making sure the GoApp has the right map ahead of time and whether the drone knows where Home Pt is regardless regardless of the map display in the GoApp? (not seeing the map is not a great issue but knowing that the drone knows where to return to is very important IMO)
