    Smartphones and Drones=

    A better way of handeling data, photos,locations, failsafe, etc. Use a couple of smartphones and the national wireless phone system. One smartphone on the drone and the other smartphone in your pocket or somebody elses pocket. Apps anyone? Thinkingman

    Flying without a data plan on Vacation

    Hi Alll! Newbie here to the drone world. I recently got the Phantom 3 standard as a birthday gift from my husband, and we'd love to take it to Taiwan for our holiday! I don't know if we'll be able to get 3G/4G while on vacation (or how much it'll cost to turn on data roaming while overseas), so...

    Question about lost drone and GPS

    So I'm still pretty new to the drone game, and I've seen various ads for the TrackiMo and the TrackR, for using GPS to find lost items (such as a drone that goes down in dense forest). These drones ALREADY have GPS, so would one not be able to easily find a downed drone with the existing GPS?

    GPS display would be REALLY nice

    I hope that somehow DJI reviews this site (and other like it) to pick up what it's users really can use! I have a large pasture to survey. Online maps give me lat/long coordinates for the property corners; I would really like the DJI GO app to at least show the current, real-time lat/long...

    No Cell Service?

    Sorry if this question is redundant. If I'm out in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, will my phone still record a new gps home point? Will return to home still work? And finally, do I need to cache my maps beforehand? If so, how does one do that on an iphone? Thanks!

    Compass Calibration Yes/No

    As a general rule I always calibrate my compass before lift off (I'm a safety kinda guy), however when I get to my next location which sometimes is 10 miles away, (once I was 40 miles from my last location) I turn everything on it tells me that my home point has been updated please check it on...

    Are you capable of flying in ATTI?

    These drones come with a lot of flight assistance and it's mostly good. It's great because of the confidence it gives the operator. Save for any issues, it's a joy to fly a DJI product or most drones available today.. The problem with GPS and Compass aided software based flight assistance is...

    Any ap to show GPS coordinates?

    Do any of the 3rd party aps indicate GPS coordinates real-time on the screen? I realize I can snap a picture, come back to command post and get GSP data from the picture but I have a real-world need to know during the flight if at all possible. It could save a lot of prep time and in a round...

    Imprecise GPS waypoints are causing me to CRASH!

    Guys, I realize that GPS waypoints are not +/- six inches, but boy is their imprecision causing me problems. I fly my drone carefully in Litchi Waypoint mode, dropping waypoints along my route. Then, when I run the mission, there are all kinds of problems: Wrong track (west): It'll be too...

    GPS location

    Is there any way to determine a P3's current location via actual GPS coordinates without downloading the flight path to Google Earth? I would like a way to tell someone that the drone is hovering over a specific site in real time.

    Stolen Phantom 3 Pro

    Hi guys, I just had my drone stolen in Miami. It's a Phantom 3 Professional. Is there any way I can trace it through the GPS? Can the drone be traced as soon as somebody connects it to a computer, based on the serials numbers I can provide? Thank you ! R

    New to drones.

    I just bought a P3/Standard yesterday....I've calibrated IMU and Calibrated before testing flight. My question is this; no matter where I'm at it always wants to be in P-Atti mode. Is this normal? I've tested this in my home and outside.
