Hello all,
I recently received my Spark and have already done a few successful flights but had a question regarding if an internet connection is advised. I've flown with both a Samsung S7 Edge and an iPad Mini 2 but neither device has an active data connection (wi-fi only). My primary cell phone is a Samsung Note 8 but haven't tried flying with it since it's not technically supported and the S7 and iPad have worked well.
Are there any adverse affects with using a device that has no internet connect? The only things I can think of at the moment is that I can't recieve "maps" of the area I'm in and I don't believe my flights are being recorded in app (total time, distance flown, etc). For reference, I'm using just the devices I mentioned with and sometimes without the RC.
Would love to hear thoughts or get more information on why I should have an active internet connection when flying. Worst case, I could always use the hotspot on my Note 8. Thank you!
