Well I would expect form a company as DJI that they have a good software development team. Im not a proffessional in software design but I program some for hobby and can iunderstand that it is not easy but DJI is a huge company so I think they should have fixed this by now. There is a thread where being stated that they working on it but this thread started in 2015!!!!!!!!!
Aloha Ray,
Throwing money at a problem does not work any better than refusing to pay extra money for what you want to use. DJI produces cutting edge technology. In that process, DJI has to deal with companies that do not share information very well. The P4 Plus series of Phantoms are based on the Android operating system because it is open source. The iOS of Apple products is closed source.
Ground Station was developed way before the P4 Plus series and so GS was not developed with P4 Plus functionality in mind. With the Ground Station foot in the door, DJI was able to update it for iOS as they developed new product. But, still, iOS is not an open source system.
Meanwhile, you have the best consumer drone technology available in the World at your fingertips. If you want the extra bells and whistles, you will have to pay for it. Sure, if DJI wanted to throw money at problems, they might have even come up with an Android version of Ground Station, but then we may not have the cutting edge technology we enjoy with the current DJI products.
Hope this helps!
Aloha and Drone On! |
