    NO INTERNET, NO CELL, middle of the ocean... Intelligent Flight modes work?

    Very True, out to sea is a different animal all together. But I figure if you able to have (maps) why not , if something goes wrong it might at least with the GPS coordinate give you better idea where your drone might have crashed in relation to you than just the radar.

    If your a android user you can still have maps if your device is offline. The android version of dji go 4 has a "save maps offline function" that allows you save an region map prior to traveling there. It's very similar to Google maps offline feature. I always fly my drone with my phone in...

    POWER (for waypoints)

    I find the offline maps handy in general aswell, i like put my phone in flight mode when i fly my mavic 2, so there no chances of calls or notifications popping up or anything that can interfere with drone or dji go 4 app. You can also download mutiple map selections, so when i go on vacation...

You dont have go do the waypionts in the field if you use the...

    I am also from south africa and i would suggest buying abroad instead. I bought my mavic 2 zoom from amazon in us, and even with shipping ot ended up a lot cheaper than local prices, and i got it 3 months before it was available in sa. The mavic zoom was 17000 zar and locally its 25000 zar.

    While i am not US pilot and we dont have has many restrictions and NFZ here, i have just generally found a lot less issues if you simply use a offline or dedicated device with your dji drones. The dji go4 app has a download maps offline fuctionality and using a offline device ensures no...
