    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    I got an iPad 9.7 today. I haven't flown the drone with it yet however, there's no problem connecting to the controller and drone. I noticed that there's a few more options than on the Galaxy J7. Example, programing the C1 and C2 has a camera and map swap option on the iPad which isn't there on...

    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    Yea, it's to bad, the Tab S2 was the ideal size and weight and wasn't too pricey. The Apple ipad 9.7 I'm looking at, has about the same measurements and really the same price (WiFi only). Unless one of you guys say it's crap or has some spec. concerns, that might be what I'll go with.

    I think you might have it uman but I had the Best Buys guy take a look today but couldn't correct it. So, I just gave it back for credit. I'm thinking of going with the Apple ipad 9.7 which is about the same price at Best Buys. Seems like people are having better luck with the Apples.

    I'm charging the battery right now and will try. I don't see anywhere to change the USB setting.

    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    I got my Galaxy Tab S2 97. Loaded Go 4 app. After a few tries, it connected to the controller, flew the drone. It won't connect to the controller anymore. I get a flashing warning to plug the USB first then start the app (I think, it flashes so fast). I've done every combo I can think of, no go...

    Can the display be cleared when clicking waypoints?

    When the waypoint program is enabled, the right side of the screen is filled with the waypoint counter, settings icon etc. but covers half the camera image and some telemetry. Once the waypoint marking is started, can the display be removed while making the waypoints clicks but bring the display...

    I've ordered a Galaxy S2 9.7 from Best Buys. I'll get it Friday. By my measurements, it should just fit in the controller clamp. It will also be used in my online videos business but my main reason to get it, is for the drone. If it works or not, I'll let you guys know.

    I got you, looks like the Fire is overall, a no go.

    I've looked at the ipads as well, a bit pricey though. What about an Amazon Fire HD 10? It has 2GB ram, good size and price. Don't know if GO4 can be installed but would think it can.

    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    Thanks to all. I'm looking at a Galaxy Tab E 9.6". It's about 6" wide so it should fit in the controller's clamp. The larger the better so I can view it without my reading glasses.

    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    I believe I have it. Things like enabling intelligent flight as in waypoints, reading battery charge, seeing the drone position on the map and viewing the drone's camera, all is coming through the USB correction, correct?

    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    I think I understand the need for the wifi but what part does that play since my smart phone is attached to the controller with a USB cable?

    Can a tablet be used without the tablet being used as a phone?

    In other words, could I buy a tablet for it's size and use it as a dedicated P4P screen without turning it into a phone or whatever the other reasons for getting one? Thanks....Ken.
