I have always used android devices but I just got the mini 4 ipad due to all the great reveiws. I only got wifi as the cellular was 200.00 more and I read how it is no problem flying without gps on your tablet,....but I was following advice about cacheing my map area while home on wife, but my ipad just keeps saying that cannot find your location. Others have had the same problem and I am in a very rural area. I did cache the maps of where I want to fly and when I turn off the wifi on the ipad I can still pull that area up, but I was wondering about the fact that the ipad could never find me and would that mess up my maps when I go flying? Will the dji go app just find my cashed maps on the ipad after it is running and I click to call up my maps.   thanks again

I’m not 100% sure because I don’t find any real need for maps, but yes dji go app should pick up cached maps, remember you also have radar on your app in telemetry this is a much more reliable way of interpreting where homepoint is and direction aircraft is flying.

Maybe you should check what you wrote in your opening post it might need correcting.
“But I was following advice while cacheing my map area WHILE HOME ON WIFE, “ he he I’m sure this was a typo. Lol

I thought you didn't need a running internet connection to have maps enabled on the DJI Go 4 app? I didn't use my SIM card and had maps working when I usually flew. I also disabled WiFi, Bluetooth, and put my phone into Airplane Mode and the maps option worked?

I have the iPad mini 4 and I just use my wifi hot spot on my phone when I fly and the maps work just fine for me.
