Let me ask a "wrinkly" question here.
When flying my Phantom, I tend to never let it get very far away - thus far. Consequently, whatever is on the map display really doesn't mean much. After all, if you fly less than a block away it's pretty hard to get lost and need a map! But let's say, for discussion sake, I buy the cheapest tablet out there I can find, no GPS, no WiFi, virtually no capability except the bare minimum needed to run the Pilot app.
While I'm flying, the pilot log is going to be capturing GPS coordinates (and lots of other data). If I gather up the appropriate file (like a copy of the .txt file from my mobile device) and go to DJIPilotLogs, convert the data into a .CSV format, then replay it on something like flightreplay.com, anything I'm going to need in the way of a map will be displayed.
If I understand that correctly, then the map data is available after the fact and, unless you're flying a decent distance away from your home point, you really don't need a map at all. |
