Map Pilot Pro on M3E controller

I am having a problem where the home point is not set correctly. When the drone RTH for whatever reason, it goes to a different point at some other location which could be 100's of metres away. This has happened several times. Could you please help look into this situation?

Hmmm, that's not good. How do you know the home point is somewhere else?

Do you have movable home point enabled?

Can you take a screenshot when it happens?

When the drone didn't come back to me (take off location), I turned off map pilot and turned on dji pilot 2 to see what it was doing. I took a photo using my mobile phone The picture is attached below. You can see the take off location is where the remote is (blue) while the Home point was set to where the Yellow icon is. My observation is that this happens during multi battery missions. I cannot remember exactly but it seems to happen after the battery was changed.

 

Referring to this flight log :

This sounds like an issue of having other apps running at the same time. The blue trace stops while it is still on the flight path so we can't see what it tried to do. This is a clue that something else was in control and might have adjusted the home point. I think on that remote if you switch apps even for a second it will mess up the connection. 

Does that 'H' location have any significance to you with previous flights?

Has the remote been there before?

Does it do this all the time or did it happen just this once?

Were other drone related apps open at the time?

I apologize as I haven't been able to test it out since the question. I did not switch to other apps and the home point has no meaning to me. I will try and test it with difference settings and see what happens.
