Furthest Drone Hack is not working
in General
I was travelling to a different country, I left my drone at the airport. Now I'm back more than 2000 KM away and hacking all those portals. Yet Furthest Drone Hack shows 4 km only. Is that a bug?

The "Furthest Drone Distance" metric is based on the distance between the drone's current position and where it was originally deployed for its current trip. Your current location does not figure into it.
One way of thinking of it is to draw a circle around the portal your drone was originally deployed at. The radius of the smallest circle that includes all the portals your drone has visited since it was deployed there is the Furthest Drone Distance. You must also round down or floor the radius to get an integer value for km (e.g. 4.99km becomes 4km).
This helps remember that even if your portal has visited 2 portals that are 7km apart, if both are only 3.5km from the start point you will still only get 3.5km (rounded down to 3km) for the drone distance.
