hi Everyone,
I am sure this topic has been beaten to death. I got a Phantom 3 Pro (Lightbridge). And I got a mad deal, 16gb iPad Mini 4 Wi-Fi for $220 after taxes,new and didn't know that it doesn't have GPS. But have been Googling all night about wi-fi mini vs cellular mini. Also I can prob get the 16gb Cellular version for $379+taxes so that is an additonal $180 I'll be paying to go up the chain.
Now if I decide to stick with the Wi-Fi version, what am I actually missing out on:
1) Follow me mode?
2) To be able to set a new RTH point if I move from one location to another?
3) If I don't precache maps, I won't be able to see maps in the app if I travel to different and outside of range of any wi-fi connection?
4) Map orientation while the drone is flying?
Does not having a GPS impact any of the following:
1) Distance travelled?
2) Line of sight works just as well without GPS?
3) Lightbridge dependent on GPS at all?
Also, is a 16gb iPad ok or should i invest in a larger capacity? Is the iPad storing any videos/photos or is all of that all on the micro-SD card?
Thanks everyone!
