I've had my MP for a month or so and love it; now I'm looking at the MavMount and a tablet. I'll probably pop for an iPad mini 4 for the job. The question is whether or not I need to spend the extra $$ for the cellular-connected model in order to get the GPS receiver (I wasn't planning on using it for data).
So what is GPS on the tablet/phone used for, besides Follow Me and Find My Drone? The latter is a nice insurance policy (I've already used it after guessing wrong on altitude in a waypoint program and sticking it in a juniper bush while it flew sideways; only lost two props) but isn't a deal-breaker, and if I want it to follow me I can always use my phone. If I need data connectivity I can tether to my phone...
Thanks in advance.
