[QUOTE="Tom Croley, post: 40334, member: 3843"] Ahhh!!! The lack of precise accuracy on my last zipline experiment is probably related to the fact that my Ipad Mini 4 does NOT have gps. So when I asked the app to track my device and then started walking down the road, it could only take its best guess.... still it did pretty good. I'm going to try the same mission using my Iphone SE as soon as the weather clears and see how well it fairs. I'm predicting that it will do well. I use the Mini 4 because I just don't see that good anymore and it is difficult for me to manipulate options on my phone which has a rather small screen. If you are going to purchase a device to use with this app, I recommend getting a model that has GPS, A digital compass, and a barometer. One option for me where accuracy is necessary would be to sit in my living room and plan my missions on the Mini 4 with the bigger screen and then go fly them using the phone. When you save a mission on the Mini 4, it appears in the list on the phone as long as you have wifi internet for the Mini. If you take the Mini out in the field where there is no wifi available and you want to plan a mission, you may be out of luck because there is no map on which to plan. If you plan ahead and download the map first, maybe. You could plan the mission using the camera.... I'll have to experiment some more. [/QUOTE]
