Wow that seems convoluted, I've been wondering about this and will try it today. I have been selecting the planning menu with just iPad and zero comes up. I thought I'd be able to plan missions before i would head out using just the iPad. Seems odd that I have to have everything powered on and sat connected to do this.This is information is regarding the iOS version.
Using only the app and controller, the app has all maps in flight planning using the filter options. But in Solo fly mode, no filter options are available. If you swipe to view the map in fly mode with no drone present, the map is the standard satellite view, but once the drone in present with GPS, the map display is the full satellite map view.
So the system will only display the satellite map with the drone present, if the drone is not preset the regular map is displayed. If using a wi-fi only iPad with no cached maps you get a black grid display when the drone is present, once cached the display is correct. The display filter for Solo fly maps are set automatically.
Hope this helps......
Thx I just tried that and it worked.The Solo app has no planning mission functionality, the maps on the home screen is for information only on ATC and restrictions in your area and set the map display type in flight mode. But if the drone is not connected with GPS locked, you will,only see the standard map display. In flight mode, there is no option to change the map display type. If you have an iPad Wi-fi only, you will need to connect to the Internet before you fly and using the flight planner filter options select the Satellite view, then move around the area and zoom in and out, this will cache the maps for when you are connected to the drone via Solo link.
