That only applies to iPads.Any device you're hooking up is being used as a screen. They biggest difference is that some devices have a GPS unit in them while others don't, based on if it's a WiFi-only vs LTE model.
You could buy a tabletIn other words, could I buy a tablet for it's size and use it as a dedicated P4P screen without turning it into a phone or whatever the other reasons for getting one? Thanks....Ken.
Nothing for flying.I think I understand the need for the wifi but what part does that play since my smart phone is attached to the controller with a USB cable?
Except for this particular item, you are correct. To see the maps, you either need to pre-cache them to your tablet while connected to wi-fi , or you will need to be connected to wi-fi or cellular during flight. Pre-caching the maps is easy, and if you do that you will have map view with wi-fi turned off and no need for cellular.seeing the drone position on the map
Just a note on that. Look for as much RAM as you can get. The specs for this model indicate ony 1.5MB of RAM. You really need at least 2MB minimum for GO4 to run efficiently without lag. 1.5M struggles with GO.I'm looking at a Galaxy Tab E 9.6"
Amazon, Verizon etc...tablets don't work well for this from what I have seen. You might want to look at either the Samsung S2,S3 series or possiby the Huawei series tabs.What about an Amazon Fire HD 10?
I've looked at the ipads as well, a bit pricey though. What about an Amazon Fire HD 10? It has 2GB ram, good size and price. Don't know if GO4 can be installed but would think it can.
If you're asking if you need service, I don't think so. I inherited my wife's old iPad, it's not subscribed to anything anymore, and it works fine with my P3A.In other words, could I buy a tablet for it's size and use it as a dedicated P4P screen without turning it into a phone or whatever the other reasons for getting one? Thanks....Ken.
