Hello everyone..
My name is marc, im from the UK and i am a new happy owner of a dji spark..
Im now to dji and the spark but not new to flying or RC in general..
I did not really want to come on and start asking for help right away but i thought its always best to ask for help then not ask, i am sorry for the long message though.
The spark is not new as such but the last owner only had it 10 months did 16 flights, so its in great condition, i did a drone swap for my yunnec breeze 4k drone, i got the better deal for sure..
So when i first got the drone i was very happy, had a few flights, its such a cool little drone and is great quality as you all know, at that moment i was using the dji go 4 app on my android sony xz phone, not that many issues to be honest apart from just being a bit to unreliable with disconnections and lag, and the last time i tried using it i got some funky warnings, basically saying i was flying in a different country. i did not manage to get a sreen shot in time..
So yesterday i bought a ipad mini 4 as i see these are rated quite highly by the dji community.. (i got the wi-fi only none cellular version due to low budget)
lol now im having troubles though, first up all my flight records seemed to have gone? when signing in on the ios ipad, my flight points remain though, but if i sign in and open the dji go 4 app on my android phone all my flight records are there.. (no big issue i guess the flight records are stores on my phone then? as ive not flown with the ipad)
At first i struggled to cache the maps on my ios ipad mini 4, then i finally sorted that, well kind of, by loading the dji go 4 app first getting the map then connecting the RC and drone..
so i can load them but can not pre-download and store them, on IOS, but i have seen others do it.. because they get the option ''cache map in the background'', rather then the ''china mainland option''
So yeah my main issue really and ive seen other reports of this, if i go into my setting it says (Calibrate Map Coordinates for China Mainland)

But i do not get the (Calibrate Map Coordinates for China Mainland) option on my andriod phone, its so confusing lol i just want to go out and have some safe flight fun, and was really hoping after spending near £400 on an ipad just to use with the spark (dont tell my wife) i would have less hassle then using andriod..
Also i can never get the drone compass in the left hand side to point the correct way, i always thought the tip of the arrow is the head/face of the drone and it should face the way the drone is pointing? but it does not, the only way i can get it to point in the same dirction as red arrow and line up with the white arrow is if i spin the tablet or phone around too, lol very strange, or am i not understanding how that compass works?

just to add, im on the lastest firmware on the spark, rc battery and app, on both andriod and ios.
hopefully the pictures will help and some of you experts can help me.
Thanks everyone for all your time and help..
All the best, marc..
