Fiddling with the new RC for the first time, I really miss back in the old days where you can download the maps of a particular country. The most intuitive option IMHO, similar to most offline GPS apps especially you're on vacation in a remote area where cell reception is flaky or you have limited data. Even with online maps such as Google, I still rely on offline maps for long road trips.
Then DJI changed it to download only within certain area, that got it more challenging but still OK. And now with the DJI RC I need to pan thoroughly the entire area through the 5.5" screen just to get it cached. Most frustrating is there's no way for you to search whilst getting it cached. That's the issue. I could imagine I checked into a hotel room with no GPS, took out the DJI RC it shows I'm somewhere in the middle of the ocean and I'll have a hard time finding the foreign hotel on the app map itself to begin with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@DJI, is there any plan to improve this? Add search to the cacheable maps (some visual indication the map is actually cached) or best bring back the downloadable/manageable map options. I wouldn't want to assumed the area is being cached but when it's time to fly in the area where I'm uncertain of its cell coverage, the map cache got over written to save space. |
