[QUOTE="Mr Geek, post: 79023, member: 15144"] I haven't needed to manually download maps but I imagine there may be times when I might. I wonder when they added the Offline Maps option? When I got my Spark and set it up I just made sure to update/run the latest version of all software and firmware and noticed the Offline Map option on mine. I am running Version 4.3.4 of DJI Go 4 on Android BTW. I am pretty sure what DJI Go does is once you establish communication to the drone and the drone connects to enough GPS satellites to know where it is, if you aren't within the extent/area of your stored map, it will download a suitable replacement, centered on your location. Like I mentioned I never intentionally downloaded maps and when I am out flying in places 15-miles from my house I always have had the street map and satellite (aerial imagery) maps in DJI Go 4. I don't think not having the Offline Maps is a deal breaker for anyone as long as you start up the drone/app/controller before flying and let the software update as needed, again this assumes it updates your map extent when you do this. If this is a major issue for you or you really want to know what's up with maps, you might call DJI support and get their advice. If you do I would be really interested to hear what they said.
