aWhat part are you not understanding?

Lots of discussion about creating a precise orbit point for solo. I have settled in on simply stepping 20 paces (bout 60 feet) from my target, flying the solo on that point, facing my subject, then looking at the map to see if the "bullseye" is right in front of the drone. If not, I slide it a...

ok, flash of brilliance just occurred in my brain. the only live information on the screen during Orbit set up is the drone location (blue dot) and the Home location. (where the drone acquired gps lock) those two points appear superimposed over the satellite map. Theoretically, you could fly the...

Great input. Now the question is, "if Google Earth maps are over 6 months old, who has the newest maps?" This may be a tougher issue.

Frank, I use android. So the download button is in the Solo app? if so, can you provide a screen shot for those of us who need special attention? lol And the map view you mention, is that the satellite image that appears when you activate orbit?

I'm aware that you can change the orbit diameter. That has never been in question. It is the accuracy of the pivot point. that is the issue.

I've installed Google Earth as of today. We'll see if the maps in the Solo App are different. I'll post once I know. Also, looking at Google maps in my area, the maps appear to be at least 6 months old. I know this because several months ago, homes were built in this area that do not appear on...

When you say, "Bring up maps", exactly which ones? Google maps? and my data is always on

yes, its a phone. I downloaded the Google Earth app. Will that update my maps?

Anyone know the best way to get current Satellite maps?

Im putting up a thread n how to get the most updated maps. ok, everyone contribute!

well, this went off the deep end. 1. Currently, the only way to set your orbit point is to MOVE THE MAP, not the drone. Since the sat maps are out of date, this is less than ideal. 2. There really is a better way and 3DR will figure it out, so no worries. 3. As for my expectations, i need not...

I see compass and level calibration, but no stick calib' instructions. Where are those?

until they give us better tools, it will just take trial, error and practice. I'm practicing these moves as often as I can and they are getting better. I will look for some changes from 3DR
