    Cached Maps, any new updates/info?

    Im on android and the cached map doesn't have any detail when I turn tablet back on. when I zoom in its all blurry, maybe apple app is better at caching maps than android. I will look into the DJI Ultimate Flight app, but I was trying to get the GO app to cache maps.

    Question about maps

    Well i tried it a few times to cache a area then shut down tablet and power back on and it only caches a small area from the very last time you zoomed in (about a mile square) but it forgets all the previous areas you flown in, they all lack detail and cant be zoomed in clearly. this tells me...

    Mavic arrived today and this was floating in the plastic dome

    this is the part how it looks not broken, the clear plastic gimbal lock that you use for travel, locks between the round part and the back of the camera and holds it steady and keeps gimbal from breaking during travel. you need to get a new part or have DJI fix it or risk damage to your gimbal...
