I fly my mavic searching for stray cattle in a 300 acre pasture. When I locate one I would like to see the current GPS coordinates while I hover above the cow. I can't find in the DJI Go 4 app where the GPS coordinates for the Mavic's current position are displayed. I know I can take a picture, fly the mavic back to me an download the picture, but I would like to see the coordinates in real time if possible. Is this a function of the Go 4 app, or is there another app I could use to get real time GPS coordinates?

Thanks,

Keith

Jump over to Google Earth.......
 
I not sure how to that, but I’ll look into it. Is this something I can do through the Go 4 app?

Thanks
 
I think you should try a test in your yard using find my drone . Fly your drone 300 yards away and then go into your find my drone settings and look . I just don’t know if it will work with the bird hovering over the cattle . I would like to know the results also .
 
You might look at Tag Pilot - This could be what you are looking for.
 
Update. To get the real time GPS coordinates while the Mavic was in the air I was able to use 'find my drone' feature in the Go 4 app. I was also able to use Tag Pilot to see coordinates as I flew over different areas.

Regarding Tap Pilot, has anyone come across directions on how to use it. The brief description I found on the Maps Made Easy website is not that helpful. I could find how you actually tag a spot. If anyone has written there own directions or know where to find them I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

GS Pro displays coordinates on iPads. I had a few mis steps trying to get this feature. AutoPilot does it too.
