My mini2 with wifi works just fine. If I'm going to fly in a different location I cache my map before flight using wifi zooming in to show more detail. Then shut off the GoApp until I arrive at that location. Once there, I open the GoApp check my settings & fly using the saved cached map. Works flawlessly. Many here use wifi only with excellent results.Hi everyone,
I'm after some information regarding the iPad Mini 2.
Now they are on sale I am thinking of getting one instead of using my iPhone 6 but am wondering do i need the wifi with 3g or will wifi on its own be ok.
Thanks for replies,
Darren.
So i could connect to the hotspot on my iPhone in order to use the maps ?
Yes. You could also cache them before you go out to fly.So i could connect to the hotspot on my iPhone in order to use the maps ?
Yes, as @msinger noted you could access maps that way.So i could connect to the hotspot on my iPhone in order to use the maps ?
Mine only overheated once on me in the summer when it was about 90 degrees (F) outside. But, all was well again after I took it out of its case and stood in the shade.I would avoid the mini 2 if you live somewhere warm. Mine overheats and doesn't work well.
My apologizes, but I hope you saw my pointNot the case for me. Some very warm temperatures don't help.
Check this out to see if it helps with your question..For those with an iPad mini 2, I was told that you do not have to sign up with service provider for GOS to work. Please someone try turning off wifi, cellular and Bluetooth and checking GPS. I want to make sure before I buy
I had a similar experience. My Mini 2 worked very well for a month or two, but then when it became hot (>95F / 35C) in the summer the Mini 2 became a problem for me. It started to overheat and the FPV would lag badly. Sometimes it would even shut down completely. I bought an Air 2 and it has been wonderful for the most part, even in the summer heat.
