Bebop 2 lost using flightplan

Hi to all,
new here. I have a Bebop 2 since last July and I enjoyed it a lot.
I have made tens of succesfully flights. I have installed also Flight Plan and used it a lot of times without any problem.
During my last Flight Plan flight my bebop 2 has, however, has not come back.
I, in programming my Flight Plan flights, use Googlemap Pro, that allows to see the elevation along the selected flight path. And I always add at least 25 m above the maximum current below ground elevation. I also predicted for this last flight a battery consumption of 55% and the weather was fine with no wind. I have soon searched as possible crash site the site with the maximum elevation along the flight path several times without success (it is in a uninhabited & wild area, hence one can have found and took away). So now I wonder if the reason of the loss can be another.
This last my Flight Plan flight was the first in which the takeoff and landing places were far apart. After take off I waited that the bebop 2 went off range (disconnected), before moving by car to the expected landing site without switching off the Controller. Bebop 2, however, never arrived and even reconnected.
I know that the elevation of the waypoints in Flight Plan is respect to the takeoff site, and I took that into account as in all my many previous flights using Flight Plan.
There was however also another "first time" in this last flight. Since the elevation of a very interesting location in mid flight was well below the takeoff elevation (of more than 150 m), I put the elevation in those waypoints as 0 m, since also with such 0 m elevation, bebop 2 should have been at least 80 m higher respect to the ground. In past the minimum altitude I used in a waypoint was 1m, without problems (on the same location). Now I ask: can the 0 m elevation in a waypoint passed by Fligth Plan to the bebop 2 mean for the bebop 2 the command to land?
I know of course the location of the first waypoint with 0 m elevation, but it is in a place very hard reach...
Very grateful if someone could help me to understand:
V.

I think you've possibly been led astray by google, this isn't a forum for Parrot drones but for parrot animals so we probably know less than yourself

thanks... I used GooglelMap pro only to check the altitude and always all was ok. Moreover I fly in a area I know very well and so I can assess it is accurate.

FYI: I have Private Messaged (PM) the OP and stated again, (Thanks LT) that Parrot Forums is for Living, Breathing 'Birds' and not Drones.

I was wondering what category this was posted in. Then I read the post about parrot drones. After that I wasn't confused anymore.

Sigh... if only my parrot came with a remote control (and an "on" and "off" switch!):D

Always amusing when we get one of these, seems to happen every few months a drone owner is led astray by google and directed here for info.
