Airmap is listed as unsupported (not sure why). Can anyone confirm that LItchi works as a downloaded third party app?

Airmap doesn't support the older version of Android on the SC. Maybe someone who has Litichi could try it out. I don't want to drop $25 to test it.

I created a step-by-step video on how to install Google Play Store on the DJI Smart Controller without rooting it. You can watch it here:

Who makes Airmap? When I search I find a few apps show up in the app store? Thanks.

Did you download this from the Google Play Store or did you side install it with an APK?

I had to download it from APK Pure. It is technically not supported on android version 7. You can click to see the airspace maps and LAANC AGL numbers but it constantly takes you to the AirMap website to log you in when you try to get info on a particular airspace. When you login it doesn't stick, it will just pop up again. So it is for informational purposes only as its functionality is limited.

Interesting. Does not seem to show up in Google Play store on SC. But maybe I'm missing something. But its reviews are not great!

Have you tried the Google Play Store update? It might sort out the login issues.

Can you share the version you used from app pure?

It doesn't show up in the Google Play Store as it isn't technically compatible with the SC, that is why I went the APK Pure route. My Google Play store is up-to-date as far as I can tell.

Downloaded an apk and this is what I get in the app.

Hey, just a word about alternatives to Play Services. If you believe installing that is too much hassle, grab microg instead. It's a lightweight open source implementation.

Excuse my limited understanding on this but isn't microG an operating system?
