I just crashed my beloved P3A, and now looking for a replacement. It’s almost winter here and I don’t want to buy new until spring. I know a guy who has a regular P4, but the controller needs replaced. My question; will my Phantom 3 Remote work on the regular P4? If so I hope to use it for the...

I'll give it a shot.... That is the cache map in background that you are referring too , just to double check.....

I do , valid question...

This image is from DJI Go App..... I can't get high quality maps......I've tried going through Wifi and cellular both and trying to zoom in to where I am going to fly.... No luck on either..... Could it be because of where I live?

Thanks for the tip. I tried your advice. Here is the google maps image I can get. Went back into the DJI app and still get the same image. Kinda stumped.

When I try to cache my maps , it isn't very well defined and no colors are present. It basically looks like a negative. Other places are crystal clear. Just wondering if this is because they don't have every place highly defined, or if I have a setting messed up somewhere ? I can find well...

I was just doing some flying , and I got my first compass error- Had to land in Atti (for the first time) because I was having severe drifting in GPS after the error..... and even some in Atti. So I managed to do so successfully, upon review, I have data recorder errors. I am using a Mac book...

I'm interested in this also.... Did you folks figure anything out ? I have the same Seahorse case...

Depends, I've called it both. Generally people call mine a drone, and I'm usually pretty lazy when it comes to correcting them lol. I know some Phantom Pilots frown on the term "drone" but personally, I don't care what you call it, I just enjoy flying it and answering the dozens of questions I...

Agreed, mine either, but to the average Joe who doesn't know the difference , they would assume they are all the same.

Sorry I guess it's in the headline to the story

Also of note , in the article they show a pic of a Phantom, which if I am correct, a Phantom would allow itself to get this close to a major airport. Could have been a homemade job, but people who read the article , that see a Phantom , will immediate associate them with this incident. Bad press...

That being said though, if they are dumb enough to do it in the first place, then all bets are off on brain power / common sense to NOT incriminate themselves.

If someone was to do something like this, I doubt posting pics or video to incriminate themselves would be a high priority.

It's the same as guns don't kill people, it's the operators that do. I agree Darmie.
