Did you calibrate your compass before flight? Also might need to calibrate the IMU. I've had a problem with bugs getting splattered on my VPS and OAS.

I didn't calibrate the compass but I already did the IMU

Does the Go app show the aircraft location accurately? If not then it suggests a GPS problem.

The go app had the right home point even after my drone landed itself a block away on the corner of a fairly busy intersection where it sat for 3.5hrs.. Haha it was a crazy day

Right, but I wasn't asking if the home point was correct, I was asking whether the subsequent location of the aircraft, when it landed in the wrong place, was correct. What does the flight log show in terms of position and satellites?

Yes it ended up being correct.

Was that today, or yesterday. If yesterday, are you in the western US?

Ah! Time warping issue! Here in the eastern U.S., yesterday was 7/1/16. Looking forward to seeing the flight logs.
