So just to be clear on the change log
- it now uses Google Maps API
So I should have access to Google maps while using the app correct.
Just a thought since some users don't have internet connection on the device would be to make one Modded app with the HERE maps so we can pre-doenload the map area we will be in at home before flight. Is that possible?
This modded version has the ability to use google maps. I believe if Google Maps for some reason isn't available, it will default to Here maps. If I removed the Google Maps API Key, Here maps *should* become the default map provider.
Now I have an experiment for you. Open up your flight record and load up a flight. Once you're on the map, zoom to somewhere you've never been or looked at in Google Maps or Here maps and see if it loads. For some reason I'm able to view the individual streets in some random city in Montana on Google Maps (which I've never looked at before) as well as some random city in Berlin on Here Maps (that I've never looked at before).
I also can't seem to find the offline maps feature others are talking about in other forums, either on the home screen hamburger menu, or in the general settings of the device menu. Attached are pictures of what I'm talking about.
Keep in mind this is on my device that's not connected to the internet unless I need to redownload or sign into DJI GO 4. This is with both this current mod, 1.1.1, as well as the latest DJI GO 4 app from the Play Store.
So either DJI GO is downloading maps as the app downloads, both for Here and Google, which seems unlikely, or they have the Here maps pre-cached, and you can download maps for offline in the Google Maps app separately, and then GO can access them.
