Thinking of getting either one of these apps but not sure which I should get. Anyone used either one?

I use both. Best varies depending on your application and requirements. You will find plenty of threads here explaining the differencesThinking of getting either one of these apps but not sure which I should get. Anyone used either one?

Guys, sorry to ambush a thread but I have just pulled the trigger on a new iPad mini 3 to go with my phantom 3pro and I am looking to get either litchi or autopilot. My question is-do either /both of them need to have cellular data to get the maps when I am outide? The reason I ask is because the iPad I just bought is WiFi only (impulse buy on eBay!)
Thanks guys.
Yes but I think you can pre-populate the google maps (cached) in the app as long as you know where you will be flying. The thing that you miss mostly with a WiFi only iPad is the GPS which only comes with cell capable models and works with maps even when no cell signal is available. An option is to use your phone as a WiFi hotspot and tether your new iPad to it. Personally, I won't ever own another WiFi only iPad. I actually use an iPad 4 (cell capable) as a chartplotter on my boat in Canada because the GPS works even when I have turned off all cellular capabilities. The software I use has the maps loaded locally so I don't need an internet connection.
Yes,you could cache your maps,or if you are out and about do what I do I wireless tether to my phone and than can cruise the internet
