"Control Overide" GPS Error When Attempting Basic Orbit Mission
https://app.dronelink.com/daren-clodio/rivendale/plan/lVXNae7EAZW3tT2k2bDu/0HljqBlUff9xcMXVYkJi
Not sure what I am doing wrong here but I can no longer execute an orbit mission. When I start the mission it will do the approach but when it gets close to the beginning of the orbit it gives me this error. Frustrating considering I have been to this job site on 2 occasions and it kept giving me this error.
Is there a way to get a little more detail to these kind of errors? Would make it easier for me to trouble shoot on location.

Unlike most other flight automation apps, Dronelink operates as a ground station (sending commands in real-time from the remote controller, read more here). The DJI SDK enables this type of functionality through what they called "Virtual Stick", which shows up at "Joystick" flight mode in the top right. If the flight mode changes out of Joystick for any reason (switch to atti, RTH, etc), the ground station cannot send any further commands and the mission is paused. It sounds like your hardware may be erroneously kicking it out of Joystick mode for some reason. I just flew your mission plan on several of our test drones and it executed just fine. Do you have another drone you can test it with to isolate this to a hardware issue with this one particular drone?
I think I resolved the issue. When I planned the orbit I used AirMap to check for any restrictions considering Will Rodgers Airport was Northwest of me. It showed there wasn’t any. Yesterday I checked DJI’s fly safe map and it showed that my orbit plan fell in between a no restriction zone to a height limit zone of 60 meters. I originally had my orbit height at 220 feet. I then adjusted it to 170 and it ran perfectly. Not sure why the inconsistencies between AirMap and Fly Safe but there you have it.
