Download a section of Google Earth w/ GPS coordinates... How? I use an iMac.

Greetings fellow flyers,

I have done several searches about how to get a piece of Google Earth onto an iPad Mini 4 with the GPS coordinates in the image. I was unable to find any conclusive way that this can be done. In many parts of rural Utah there aren't enough cell towers to see satellite imagery as I fly. I would like to plan my flying in these areas, see satellite imagery in the lower-left corner of the iPad Mini to view the terrain that I would like footage of. Also, as I mentioned in a post a few days ago, I'll be on the Oregon coast during the end of March. I would imagine that there won't be any difficulties in viewing satellite imagery in this area (Yachats, Oregon), but just for fun I'd like to have a piece of Google Earth with GPS during the trip.

I hope I have explained this well enough.

Kind Regards,

remotepilot

If you just mean GE imagery in a GPS application that displays location then Gaia GPS will do that - you just have to download the necessary area beforehand if you are not going to have a data connection. At high resolution that will be a large download though.

Wonderful! Thank you very much!

So you mean the maps within DJI Go4? If so, you can cache them.

Yachats is among my favorite places to fly. Ocean crashing onto rugged rocky shores. Love flying from in front of the Overleaf hotel. Weather could be awesome or terrible. No telling till you get there! Have a blast either way!

And you are right, no shortage of satellite imagery in that area.
