[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 21458, member: 4084"] I'd also like to point out that there's [I]already[/I] a terminal search ping of sorts built into the Spark that we all know about but few actually realize is useful. The Spark has a wifi access point. Your cell phone can list access points in your area, [I]with signal strength[/I]. Get it? It would be pretty trivial for DJI to make a little sidecar iOS app that had only one feature... you plug in the SSID of your Spark, and it makes a sound and displays a number indicating the signal strength. Faster sound = bigger strength. (sound is [B]very[/B] helpful in addition to the visible signal strength number because you don't have to keep your eyes glued to the phone, you can use them exclusively for searching, and that's not something you can get with the wifi prefs on any phone I've ever seen) That would make it sooo much easier to find a Spark that's landed in the weeds in a field. Again, very low development cost, no ongoing expenses, already existing hardware support, [I]why not?[/I] [/QUOTE]
