Hi,
I'm new to drones and thinking is buying an be Air 2s or Zoom. I was wondering how easy it is to share the location of the drone whilst it is in flight? Ideally someone else would be able to see its location on a map on their phone on real time. Alternatively just being able to copy and paste the drone's GPS coordinates into a message would be ok. How easy is this to do? Is it easier with the Air 2s or Zoom app?
Thanks.
 
Hello from the Crossroads of America paulc222.

I haven't messed with it myself, but most DJI drones have the ability to live stream the flight on Facebook, YouTube, etc.

If that's too much to do, you could simply bring up the map in the app, screenshot it, and then send that doing the flight.

Good luck with your future purchase(s) and welcome to the Forum. :cool:
 
Just as a matter of interest why would you want to do this?
If you succeed is the flight route forever 'out there' on the www?
You would need to be careful you do not 'hoist yourself by your own petard'.
 
The livestream could work if it includes a map or coordinates. The screenshot idea is probably my best option. Thanks.

I would only be sharing it with friends. It's for a game I'm devising.

I think it mirrors the app screen so you could have the map up while flying? ?

Search YouTube for how it's accomplished if interested on doing it live.

Screenshot and send would be the quickest way to show the current location.
