A few notes on the RC 2 versus my old standard Air 2 controller…

[DarR-T]

I agree with you totally. I regret not buying the N2. Problem is that I have already installed an alientech harness on the RC 2 so I guess I am stuck with it

If you or anyone else haven't already done so, a thread on the alientech for the RC2 would be interesting.

You can fly without maps -- you just don't get a detailed map view.

I think you could unlock any needed zones before you headed out to a no-coverage area? The drone always knows where it is in relationship to the authorization zones, via GPS. You just won't have a pretty picture and details about the terrain around you.

I think you can blue tooth your remote to your phone. This would enable data for maps etc.

Not sure the RC2 does networking over BT.

Most phones have Hotspot capability these days... check that first, and if available, just enable your phone as a wifi Hotspot and connect to it as usual with wifi from the RC2.
