Does the GPS allow you to pre-program a flight path and take still images in a way that could be used for GIS / volumetrics?

YES, it does now. Earlier answers were correct at the time but the feature has been added.

It can be done, but the GPS has nothing to do with it. The GPS unit controls positioning and navigation, but the Ground Station app for I-phone or I-pad is what sets and executes a pre-programmed flight path.

This quad does NOT work with grounds station. Soon the Vision plus will have this function with NO extra hardware. Here is a video of a DJI employee showing the beta software that was posted a few weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN1gX4XLqWc

Not that I have found... It uses the pre-installed worlds maps which are similar to Google's...The best one to use is the Summit Series TOPO for your region, which you download after receiving the unit...I really like the rugged feel and accuracy with this unit... and as with most, carry extra batteries, although the life is better than some... updated fix is available for the traking in suspend mode problem, and mine tracks fine when suspended now...Hope this helps...

Yes, I use an app called Copilot, even used it in the UK on vacation. Works like a gps in your car.

If the GP-E2 is synced to the satellites and you can see the active data in the menu named GPS, it will embed the data into each photo file. When you upload your photos into iPhoto, you will see dropped pins on the map where the photos were taken... I just came back from Europe vacation and it worked beautifully! It won't work too well for indoor photos though since the satellite signals are weak... Bob

What are the best apps for flying and walking/hiking? I use copilot for driving but will be flying tomorrow and was hoping to follow the route if I can enable it in flight.

Yes you can use the gps, while a video is being recorded in the background.

The GPS tracking itself should work all over the world.What might be limited may be the map material available for your region that allows you to see the paths on a map.As a workaround it is always possible to use Google Earth to visualize the paths, which should have satellite imagery for most locations on earth, and is available for free.

The short answer is NO. This device is only capable of calculating the GPS coordinate of your current location. It is not designed to guide you to any destination. If you decide to purchase an expensive Offline Map software (or Application, which you can download in your smartphone), then this device can provide you with additional accuracy, which is better than the accuracy of in-built GPS of the smartphones.

No ..... Just an internal GPS to let you know where you're at during 'picture taking' .... ;-)

As far as I remember you can follow your reverse course. It doesn't have "maps" as such, but plots your course and gives you your current location. I used it for a backup on my sailboat and just logged the lat/Lon on my charts along with my DR plotting. Since there are no maps but only plotted waypoints, you can use this anywhere you have GPS sat. coverage.

Yes, the USB connection allows this. The files, including tracks show up as folders. Garmin ha software for your computer which can project tracks onto a map.

Totally. Use the camera own software for processing the image and gps data together. It superimposes on the video, the gps information related to the scene, i. e., speed, altitude etc. It has basic editing capabilities, but you can always use Imovie or Final Cut afterwardsÁlvaro

I own a Montana but i did a little research and it does look like like that gps supports the Birdseye satellite imagery.

Yes. There is a basic base map in your GPS which will show you where you are.

This is an excellent unit for that purpose. It has all the features for personally navigating across a terrain. BUT you're going to have to find a chip or a download for your area of the globe. You have to have the proper software maps.

I used GPS via Waze Application, most of all times works great, sometimes fail but if I switch to airplane mode and then switch back, works great!

I was going to buy this camera mainly because of GPS feature. Any update on GPS signal?
