Hi

Is there any difference in the GPS systems in the USA / Australian versions of the Mavic?

The reason i am asking is because an Ebay seller is saying there is a difference and i just want to quash any misinformation?

From reading the specs sheet on the DJI website there is just one spec & that all Mavics support GPS + GLONASS. Is this correct?

Strange answer when clearly the OP is asking about Australia.

Agree it didn't answer the question but it's not that strange as he confirmed that the mavic supports GPS (American) and Glonass (Russian).

There is no Australian GPS. All items with GPS use either the US (military) or Russian (Glonass) or both. Each system has a number of satellites and they are used. The best scenario is to have access to both because at ant time, the GPS access can be turned off but the US have now guaranteed they won't shut theirs down because it could have some major implications but you never know.

There is however a difference in the power lead that connects to the charge brick. You can easily pull it out and swap it with a locally sourced AUS one and then no need for adaptors.
