Thought I was all ready to go, watched too many beginners videos, weather, wind all fine, location sorted, checks done, firmware updated, pre flight check list all sorted, satellites 21, signal good, etc etc.
So I get out there all ready to 'maybe' fly, all on and connected fine. but no map on the screen, just white where the map should be. DOH.
Didnt risk taking off as a newbie, came home lol. Was only about 15min away so no big deal.
So now I find out you can download the maps offline,selected all of Norfolk UK was about 3mb. actually it's only going to download the little white square on the screen. Will this download all the layers of the map, ie satellite images too?
Is a good way to test this, to turn off wifi on the controller and see if I still get maps?
Cant believe the tiny area that you can download, one at a time.
Looks like the satelite view with wifi is a lot more detailed than the downloadable maps, for me anyway.
Just might save another noob a wasted trip.
One other thing, can I turn the start up sound down a bit, it's pretty loud.
UPDATE: just found out you can swipe down from the top and theres settings there, inc sound, nice
Just another thing, the drone gets quite warm when it's sat powered on, surprisingly.
And just discovered that the firmware on the drone also has an update waiting, tried that and half way through it failed as the drone was too warm lol. So guess need to do that when it's first turned on.
Thanks people.
