Wifi vs LTE

[Oakman]

Does this matter for everyday normal flight? Can i still all the modes like follow me etc or is LTE needed. I know RTH is based off the drone

If you are talking about iPads then yes you need the LTE version for follow me. Some people have attracted an external garmin gps unit on their Wi-Fi versions to make this work

If using an Apple device, you'll need a cellular model in order to use the Follow Me flight mode or be able to manually reset the home point to your current location. A cellular model is needed since only cellular models contain a GPS receiver. That GPS receiver is active even if the cellular service has not been activated.

If using an Android device, you'll just need a device with a GPS receiver. Most Android devices contain a GPS receiver.

If you mobile device does not contain a GPS receive, you can connect an external Bluetooth GPS receiver (like the Garmin GLO 2 or one of these).

Ok. I probably wont use those modes but was asking to decide which model to get
