I have note 3 with lolipop.  When i pull up ground station, there is no maps, nothing, I dont recall downloading maps in past but noticed it said i had too.  This is first time i have installed on new phone since just got back repaired drone.  I have groundstation activated in settings.  When i hit the blank screen it adds way points but cannot see any streets or anything.  I do have naza activated but had in GPS mode.  HELP!!!

Your device has to have Google maps. You have to have Internet and bring up the maps. This caches the maps and when you open Ground Station the maps a loaded in. Be sure it's the area you want to fly in scroll around a little and it will cache the map.

yep, that must have been what happened, after trying several times I open Google Maps, and then later went back to the app and everything was there! I went flying today and it worked perfect, airplane mode, no connection lost, I only went about 125 yards away, but it held tight! Will be trying ground station waypoints in a little bit

Glad to help and glad you got her working. The waypoint work fine. The DJI app does have a distance limit of 1,625 ft out. However you can do multiple waypoint  within that distance. There is a modified app available that takes the limits off. Enjoy flying!

I installed the LITCHI app and i have done way point in neighborhood and worked perfect for 5 missions.  Love the point of interest, love that it goes to the altitude set, then flies to the POI and circles.  Wish the ground station did that so i do not have to start mission from air to avoid the trees and houses on its way to first waypoint.  Tried the Follow me one time and walked about block and then voice said losing accuracy so it just hovered there....I am going to try again with the dynamic home switched on...this app really rocks

Set the first way point as close to the home point as possible and she flies straight up. So much easier I think

As it happens I was having a discussion about this on another forum, it seems that some versions of the Vision when starting a GS mission, elevate to about 15 ft when the mission starts and then proceed to the first waypoint, as opposed to just taking off from ground zero and gaining height on the way to the first waypoint.

Its been noted that only some do this (mine is V1 and does it), not sure why, I assume DJI changed something in the firmware.

Its for that reason Numpty Clive suggested setting the first waypoint as close as possible, something I now do all the time, this way it elevates to the correct height moving away, however the downside is that the climb speed is really slow for some reason
