So I'm researching the iPad Mini 4 for use with my P4P Advanced and I see there's a Wi-Fi only version and one with cellular connectivity. It appears the Wi-Fi only version does not have GPS, so RTH and Waypoints, as well as a few other features, cannot be used. As a newbie to UAS's, I really need the RTH feature, and Waypoints is a must for my biz.
But I also read that an iPad Mini 4 only needs the Wi-Fi + cell connectivity for the GPS work and if I get that, I don't necessarily need to add a line to my T-Mobile account for the GPS to work; that having the cell connection makes loading coordinates faster but the GPS will still work. If I were to only get a Wi-Fi + cell enabled Mini 4, I assume I could also tether to my iPhone 6s Plus if I had too.
So, my long-winded question is, should I get just the W-Fi only version, the Wi-Fi + cell with no additional monthly subscription to my cell provider, or should I get the Mini 4 w/Wi-Fi + cell and pay for an extra line each month.
Thank you so much in advance! I cannot wait until this snow passes and I can get to an open field this weekend to try this thing out!
