The Apple Compass app (which I think is part of the iOS) shows lat/long and MSL. I haven't confirmed the accuracy with another device, but it looks about right for places with which I'm most familiar. Jay

I have a private airstrip near where I live that has been unused for 20+ years, but is still on the maps. I was surprised that it caused an issue with my drones and contacted DJI who were great about sending a key that is good for many months (maybe even a year). I still have to upload the key...

Right back at you. I’ve enjoyed several (pre drone) visits to yours as well. 😁

I need to add that to my list. I've been to Portland Head Light (also in Cape Elizabeth) dozens of times, but not yet to Two Lights. Time to correct that. ;)

Nice. What lighthouse is that? Thanks.

Yes. On your phone, go to Settings -> App Store and turn off Automatic Updates.

I haven’t. But I did reach out to DJI who said that as a safety mechanism, once the drone moves the camera angles up a bit to prevent damage. It was pretty windy the last time I flew which may have been a factor. I’m hoping to get out soon on a reasonably calm day to try and pay closer...

When flying yesterday I noticed that I could rotate the camera to point straight down, but when I took my finger off the wheel on the RC, it rotated back up about 15 degrees. The firmware is up to date, I'm running 1.4.8 on an iOS. I've recalibrated and restarted, but it still persists. Any...

I’m using it with a Mini 2 and Air 2S without any problems. I am also still using Fly app v 1.4.8 since I don’t have a need to update.

Interesting and makes sense - thanks very much!

Yeah, I understand in general why they have extended approaches, but in this case it goes much farther to the north than the south (which is the more frequently used) - and it seems interesting they would need such an extended approach (~20 miles?) to a 6,000’ runway that has about 3 turboprop...

Sorry I was unclear in my post, there are two parts to the issues affecting my area: DJI Geo locking and FAA. We are on the fringe of a controlled airspace (KAUG - in the Montreal Sectional) - not sure about the "larger airport" moniker though. ;) It seems like an odd configuration of the...

For reasons that I don't understand, which may include a private airport which hasn't been used in 20 years, my home area requires unlocking. I explained this to DJI and they sent a code that unlocked this corridor for 1 year. I still have to get LAANC approval, but that only takes about 30...

Hi from a fellow forum newbie from Central Maine (outside Augusta)! It sure has been a great season to take drone pics in our neck of the woods..

Funny you would ask, because that is exactly the height where I embedded my Mini2 in a White Pine. Thankfully a couple days later we had enough of a breeze that it fell and had the descent slowed by a few other trees. It landed right side up without a scratch and after charging the (very dead)...
