There is a landmark granite railroad bridge circa 1830s in a rural community about an hour’s drive from my house. I took my Mavic Mini there today to get some photos because the fall foliage probably would be spectacular. And it was.
But I had trouble flying my drone. First, there was no GPS signal, and after I took off, I was limited to an altitude of 98 feet.
Here is a log of the messages I received while flying:
Note: As long as I stayed under 98 feet, I had full control of my drone and could get it to go in any direction. I checked my settings, and my maximum altitude was set at 398 feet.
Does anyone know why I was limited to 98 feet? When I owned a Spark, I had it up several hundred feet while in Attitude mode.

Here is a log of the messages I received while flying:
- Compass or GPS signal weak. Changed to Attitude mode.
- GPS signal weak. Switched to Attitude mode. Aircraft unable to hover. Fly with caution.
- Max altitude reached (Altitude limit: 98ft)
- GPS signal weak. Altitude limit set. Wait for GPS signal to return to normal and continue ascending. (I received this message every time I tried to climb past 98 feet.)
