      Starting about 2 days ago, DJI has modified the Fly app so that it will now do updates to the Android Fly app from inside the app just like the drone firmware updates. You should download the latest 1.2.4 Android app from DJI (see Eds comment above) and it will than let you know when an update is available. So no longer need to go to Play Store or DJI to get it. Big improvement! Thanks Ed for an excellent and well described video.

      Does the app work for the new Samsung S21 Plus? There is just a download that doesn't do anything-!

      How about if you save or load the google map data for offline. Does it work?

  • @gedlyman1
    @gedlyman1 Před 3 lety +6

    Excellent, this was by far the clearest explanation I’ve found on the internet to describe the functionality of the critically important navigation aspect of the DJI mini 2. I’m a new drone user and it didn’t take me long to figure out without this knowledge you’re gonna have problems as it’s sooooo easy to lose sight of your drone even if it’s only 30 feet away. Thanks.

  • @wollins2
    @wollins2 Před 3 lety +25

    One of the best vids Ive seen on this subject. Clear and concise explanation. Subscribed!

  • @tgt7071
    @tgt7071 Před 3 lety +4

    Great tutorials! Ed gives very specific easy to understand information without any hype, antics or otherwise distracting commentary. Certainly my go-to for quick and easy app and flying instructions.

  • @robbarron8635
    @robbarron8635 Před rokem +1

    This is genuinely one of the most informative and clear videos regarding the GPS and maps elements of Go Fly App. As someone who has recently moved from a 6 year old Phantom 4 which used the Go 4 app to an Air 2S, there is so much more in the Go Fly app than I had realised. It's really helpful so thanks very much Ed. I'll be checking out other videos of yours for sure :)

  • @watershedoverlook
    @watershedoverlook Před 2 lety

    An a new drone (Mini 2) owner (who got a bit "lost" on his first flight) this is by far the most helpful video I've watched. Thanks!

  • @smbishop63
    @smbishop63 Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you, 4 week into this and your videos have been very helpful. Also, I love how your videos have the breakdown of what your are covering. I am sure this takes extra time on your part and it is much appreciated!

  • @Deputydog-xk5jl
    @Deputydog-xk5jl Před 3 lety +5

    Excellent info sir! Never knew about the drone “tilt” feature showing how it’s banking into the wind...very helpful!

  • @rickzzz1
    @rickzzz1 Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you! Very few videos go into such detail about the screen functions. Now I feel I can fly with so much more information available.

  • @DAVIDHERRICK
    @DAVIDHERRICK Před 2 lety

    Thanks Ed. I just got my Air2, and I've been absorbing lots of info from CZcams vids. Yours is the absolute BEST so far for using the controller and maps. The "compass" view information is super valuable. I'm charging my batteries for the first time right now, and looking forward to my first flight!

    @ThomasHarvey1945 Před 3 lety

    I've had my original Mavic Air for years now with no problem or issues and I thought there was nothing more I could learn. I was wrong! Even though you were using the Fly App and a different drone I learned some things which I think are relevant to my Go4 App. Thanks for the great information!

  • @nixxonnor

    @ramblinrick4u Před 3 lety

    MA2 Pilot here. I've been using my drone for real estate in #highlandsnc and #cashiersnc area of NC. I have been using Dronelink for the most part to get my bearings and create missions. However, this is the best and simplest explanation I have seen for using the compass and its features. Also, because much of me work is in remote areas with no signal, this is wonderful information to have to "pre-load" maps. I have to do that with dronelink, within that app. But knowing I have this for DJI and (heaven forbid) I have a crash in the woods, good to know it may be easier to find, should the situation arise. Great job! Thanks. Going to go outside now and play...

  • @jdeer2790
    @jdeer2790 Před 3 lety

    Thanks Ed for this one. I'm very new to the drone world(2/2/21). I was looking at all the videos on the Mavic Air 2 could not find the attitude indicator in the middle of my screen. Thanks to this video I know that function was changed in this current release of the fly app.
    I learned that all the other videos were done prior to the current release. Thanks again!

  • @Jimmy_Cavallo
    @Jimmy_Cavallo Před 2 lety

  • @DuncanH11
    @DuncanH11 Před 3 lety +1

    Great video, explains everything. I've just got my Mini2 and been watching youtube videos but couldn't understand why there was no compass in the middle at the bottom. Now I know and also how to use the the new design, excellent, thank you.

  • @georgeblack7995
    @georgeblack7995 Před rokem +1

    Thank you your tutorial was very insightfull. I appreciate the information as I am a first time drone flyer of a DJI Air 2S. I took the drone out this evening and used the satelite maps in a country location in Wisconsin.

  • @BlairAir
    @BlairAir Před 3 lety +2

    This is a great tutorial on maps/compass/attitude. You are right near me, and I even thought of flying that park where you filmed. Half of Dorothy Dix is in RDU restricted altitude though, and all of Pullen Park. As my skills improve I plan to get a lot of footage over Falls Lake - so far I've been flying a 3 mile reservoir in Wake Forest. Appreciate these videos - This earned a sub!

    Mini 1 Just downloaded version 1.2.4 it was not available in Google store but it was in Samsung Galaxy store .
    Thought they had removed the compass at first, but was happy when I worked out how the direction/attitude indicator worked & all works fine.👍

    @MacAutomationTips Před 2 lety +1

    Seriously helpful. I imagine this information is in the manual, but it's better to have a video and an expert description of how the GPS map works. I actually took screenshots and notes and I plan to try this out today. Thanks for your content.

    That was an excellent video that explained the functions very well indeed. As an experienced user, it's pleasure to pick up something new- keep up these super tutorials! . I did wonder about your chosen flight location being under an airport flight path, as although fully legal, an uncommanded climb could be dangerous here.
