No that doesn't work, but I can see the vision on my google maps and the radar and distance , altitude works

The press information that came out back in late Nov or Dec showed an iPhone looking app, not an iPad app for the P2V.

This should also mean the converse--that the iPad will NOT work with the Vision, nor will the PC GS as they both use the 2.4G datalink. The WiFi connection on the Vision should (in most any guess or scenario) be the comms to the P2V for a waypoint looking app they showed on an iPhone.

I have the P2V also and am looking forward to the very likely simplified version of this app over the iPad GS. As I cannot make the GS app on the my iPad work with my P2 yet, I am struggling through the clunky interface (though I would bet some with experience out there might argue much more feature and telemetry rich functionality)

For now it is the PC GS for me and my P2's until the app store releases the updated GS iPad app. What tells me it still wont work though?

Pleeze, pleeze, pleeeeze folks lets not start stir up the dust & confusion on this again:

Phantom 2 non-Vision: Requires hardware
Phantom 2 Vision: Requires firmware update v2.0 or later + app for your iDevice (to be released this week?)

For those of you who want the nuts & volts explanation go back a few pages to my previous post (referring to yet another thread) and catch the last paragraph in particular:

And no worries, I know DJI has not exactly been helpful at making these distinctions clear, but that won't matter any more in a few more days.

I never realized how biased that looks ("iDevices) until you mentioned it. I did mean both Apple & Android tho! I always think folks will get confused when we just say "device" making them think they need to buy some extra "device" to make something work.

Remember our recent "rotors" vrs "propellers" discussion?

The iPad update is out! Have not tried it but just wanted to let you all know.

As it's not compatible with the Vision there's not much point in trying it!

The GroundStation app for iPad works with aircraft equipped with DJI's Datalink & BTU hardware modules. This morning's update adds support for Phantom 2 non-vision's equipped with the modules. Vision is not supported.

I anticipate our DJI Vision app will soon be receiving upgrades to include GroundStation features which will be controlled thru our existing 2.4GHz wifi link (device, extender, Vision) which has until now been used to control the camera & receive FPV & telemetry.
