    It appears that you marked the first boundary point at 0 feet, which set the altitude of the map to zero feet per the instructions:

    The drone attempted to descend and fly to the start of the map after that, which must have been below the treeline…

    I understand he marked the first point while still on ground. Yes ?

    The first point was marked in the air above the map tree line. As described above, that happened the first time. I put the aircraft back up at mark one, pressed play, and it didn't descend this time. It just turned and flew towards me and into the taller tree line

    I tried to share the photo of the map but had to create a link for it

    In such a case, maybe a warning should be raised.

    This map function now disallows marking the first point at zero feet.
