In the Link below, they mention a RED Line, I was wrong, but I thought it was BLUE but iti is actually RED… any case the video explains it pretty good… and the Blue line is the path you have already flown.
Below is a map showing a flight of my Mini 2, I keep my maps orientated with North always up… I have flown the drone off to the East and the Blue Line is the flight path I took…
Looking at the Drone, the Triangle is facing Left towards the West and there is a “Greenish” color out front, like the “headlights of a car” showing the direction of the drone.
If I could not see my drone and I did not trust my Return to Home, I would turn my Drone so it was facing the Home Point and then fly it back along the RED LINE…
Now, if this was you on your boat, you would now know the Drone is off to your West… How far, you would have to look at the main screen and check the Distance and Height, but always remember that there is always wind and if the drone is downwind, it has to fly home against a headwind.
Here is a good video on updating the Homepoint, especially if you are going to be flying your drone while on a boat…
My question, "Do still have the original Mini 2 SE, meant was were you able to recover the drone or was it lost at sea?
You wrote, “I found one on the drone then realised the drone was 1km away and i had know idea how to get to its location.”
So I figured that if you did not know where it was, how did you get it back to the boat?
