I need to know if you can still use the Maps and Follow Me mode if you DON'T insert a SIM? I'm planning to buy a mini 4 cellular, and don't want to buy a SIM and add a new line with data. Thanks.
 
You do not need to insert a SIM and/or activate the cell service in order to use the GPS receiver on an Apple device. While only GPS is required to use Follow Me, you'll need an Internet connection in order to download the maps. You could cache the maps in DJI GO in a location where you have an Internet connection before you head out to fly or tether your iPad Mini 4 to a device that is sharing its Internet connection via a hotspot.

Thanks for that great info!
