Hi, new member and new to DJI products through have been flying quads for over 6 years now.
Noticed an announcement of a new release of the DJI Ground Station app for iPad, now called DJI GS Pro so I downloaded it to my iPad Pro mast night, very similar to Ground Station program for APM flight controllers.
Took my Mavic out to the local regional park with the dog, let the dog run free off lead and made two test flights using the new software to fully control my (brand new) Mavic.
First flight was very simple, basically a 4 waypoint track around an area the size of a football field. Very nervous but it went well so I sat at park bench and setup a much larger track with 12 waypoints, covering a total distance of a bit over 1km in length and climbing to a hill top and back down. Ended up guessing I needed around 80m of altitude to safely make it over the hill and increased the corner radius to 10meters to get smoother turns.
Very happy to report the flight went exactly as expected, this seems pretty good software considering the price which is free.
