I posted this in reply to another thread, but I wanted to make sure my Standard buddies see it.
Just finished installing Google Play on my Fire HD 6", running the latest Amazon operating system (5.1.2). Then, I added Google Maps (using the Play store), did a WiFi tether to my Samsung Galaxy 5, and now my Fire HD has MAPS!!! Great match for the Standard!
Search YouTube for the video I found and used on how to install the Google services on your Fire HD device. I guess my posting it was a violation?
Tomorrow I'll be plugging this in via micro USB:
Amazon.com: GlobalSat ND-105C Micro USB GPS Receiver: Cell Phones & Accessories
I'll let you know how it works out. Obviously, with my P3S, I will have the cache the maps, as my WiFi will be occupied while I fly. I already opened the Flight Records and it is downloading the maps as I view my old flights. Pretty cool, considering the price, performance, and durability of the Fire HD. Screen works pretty well outdoors, too, no hood.
Just for the record, I side-loaded DJI Go on this thing months ago, and it always worked great, just no maps.
