I must admit that the sun is a pain, Even here in North Wales UK. I've found that the best plan is to stand under a tree. And there are plenty of them around here. Some of the later 'phones do seem to be better in daylight than they used to be

I've recently added Litchi to myflight controller list, and yesterday, braved the cold to give it a try out. It all went well, although after 5 minutes I froze up. I liked it, but there was one aspect that I missed. Using the DJI Go, on a flight, the app would draw the flight track in the map...

Well, I never!! I've had a really close view of the local area, using both the Go app and google maps, and there is a difference. The lane that passes my house, according to the map on the Go app, ends at my house, but on Google it continues to a further house about 100 metres up. So the Here's...

Nigel, your scheme seems to the best idea. since the maps seem to be sourced from the phone or tablet. I'm not so sure about the maps being sourced from HERE. The local country park (Moel Fammau) has been extensively Google mapped and available on Street view. Whilst many of these are old...

Ah. I do recollect having, at times seen warnings about saved maps. But since I've never consciously saved any maps, I've ignored the messages, as being part of the useless junk that is forever turning up on anything computational. I'll keep an eye out, in future.

Thanks. It's looking a lot clearer, already. So, the maps are cached in the video device, tablet or 'phone, and according to info on your links, are held for 30 days (Google). After which, they are (possibly) purged. Unless (possibly) they are renewed by later access. So, to avoid...

I'm unsure of how, or where the Phantom setup sources it's map data, but on occasions, when a previous flight has displayed map/satellite data successfully, on the next occasion, the data has been absent. The functionallity is there, the flight path and the route 'home' displayed over an...

On a number of occasions when I've trudged off to my favourite takeoff point, and when I've set the Phantom up, I've found that there is no longer a map or satellite view, to aid navigation. I live in a very rural area which abounds in trees, steep hills and valleys, and needless to say has...

3.1.5 it is, now. (Android). Oddly, I have it on two tablets (large and not so large), and the flight display is different on both. One has the odd compass flight direction thing and the other does not, and one has the camera view/map, on the left and the other on the right.. Any reason for this?

App version 3.1.3 AC firmware 1.10.90 RC firmware 1.8.0..The setup seems to be working fine at the moment. On the other hand, it's sitting on the kitchen table. Wheter that situation will pesist when I;e trudged out into the country, is another matter.

This is something that is perplexing me. Taking advantage of the rare good weather, I took my P3 advanced out for a spin, only to find that the DJI ap was persistantly asking that I carry out an RC firmware update. This despite my having done the whole firmware update only a few weeks ago. So...

I seem to be having some strange problems with my P3A. Two problems specifically, but I suppose I should stick to one problem per post. So, here goes. Getting my P3 ready, I opted for a dry run (no props) to make sure that nothing had happened in the winter lay-off. I noticed some odd actions...

Richard A. I'll try that too.

It is a 64GB Samsung card, it's worked well in the past. Misbehaving only on the past two outings. Re-installing the app may be a good idea, It does seem to have a number of issues in respect of firmware updates. Cheers

Since the camera is dynamically stable, i.e. it automatically responds to changes to the attitude of the aircraft in flight, it should not have anything to do with the mounting. A lop-sided mount should be auto corrected. If the put the aircraft on a sloping surface the camera should adjust. So...
