So far I don't see a way of being able to cache high res maps unless I premedidate where exactly I will be flying, zoom right in before leaving the house, drag across an entire area for which I think I might fly, wait for each section to load and hope I haven't missed anything.

What happens when you know roughly the location your heading, but not the exact area you will be flying.

Before I ordered I was told that you download the one map for offline use, I was told this would cover all of England, I thought hey.. that sounds awesome (little birdy saying thats gotta be too good to be true).. this was obviously mis information.

A great feature would be if you could specify a grid (maybe draw out a rectangle over a zoomed out map area) click cache and the app downloads all the high res files it needs?

Are there any other ways to cache maps other then to guess destination, zoom and drag regions?

Android here, +1 for this feature.. Such a pain in the arse to have to zoom every level over the area you might fly,. only to get out and find out you've missed a section, then your stuff. Need an auto cache all area function desperately. I live in a rural area, wifi hotspots are non existent.

With android you can select areas up to 50km x 50km and save the map to your device. That map will then stay on the device until you remove that map or erase the device. It takes 2-3 minutes to same a large map if you have a good wifi connection. Use the google maps app, navigate to the location you want to save. Zoom in/out to show an area no larger than 50 x 50mk (it will say the area is too large if you are trying to save too much) and then save the map. It will also ask you for a name to call the map. Once the map is saved it will automatically used by the DJI map.
