Are you in Angle or smart mode? Smart mode will not allow you to take off or use auto functions in certain areas, whereas Angle mode will. I honestly never would recommend anyone taking off in smart mode anyways, unless you are in an open field with the drone at least 20+ feet from you are anything. I only use smart mode for pre-programmed CCC routes Circle, or watch me/follow me. I'm a fan of the UAV Toolbox for my route planning, and has been reliable 100% of the time. The only issue with the UAV Toolbox would be if the programmer does not program correctly, not accounting for height of objects, or flight area to time a task is to be performed and the drone auto landing away from you, or into a lake/ river etc.
