I think I may have a problem and wondered if anyone could shed some light on how to solve it please ? I am flying a Mavic Mini and using an iPad Mini4 nestled in the RC. But the Aircradt Orientation Indicator doesn’t work as I think it should. Please have a look at this 2 minute video and the viewer…

Yes, he’s right, the Ipad has not got a compass built into it, so it does not know where you are, so to speak. You could cache your maps of the area into Google Maps, that may help ( you will need to do this at home with WiFi) My advice is to swop to using a phone, which will have GPS,etc. You co…

I’m slightly concerned that the arrow was mostly at 3.0clock in relation to the circle and when I turned the Mini round the point moved accor…

Your problem will still exist when you are out in the field as the map will still not work and move around without GPS reception.

So everything that I read about a mini iPad being ideal for a screen and that it didn’t need to have cellular capabilities was incorrect ? I do have the iPad linked to my router, that’s how I update the drone software and I read in an earlier post of yours that I could cache maps of my area into Goo…

Any chance of a bit of help with my MM please?
