Hi all.

I realize that this would have to be done as "extrapolated and estimated" - but would it not be cool if DJI added such a metric to the GO app, where you would have "some idea" of an estimated AGL based on GPS and what the maps say about ground altitude at the given spot?

I was flying in a mountain area, where my altitude, as relative to take off point, was nearing 1000ft, yet i think i was no higher than 200ft AGL; bu, it would be nice to have that data readily available.
Also VERY IMPORTANT to realize it's an estimate, and may be way off - so no idiot sues DJI for crashing based on that number....

Thoughts?

That's not going to work because Here Maps have no altitude information like Google Earth does.
Use your eyes just like the pilot of a Cessna would to determine whether you are going to flyinto a mountain or not.

I did, but i figured it would be a nice improvement to the app.. really? Here maps have no topo data? weird!
