So, the Phantom 3 is very close if not identical in much of its internals. Does this mean we will be able to do route planning and automated flying via waypoints, routes, etc.?
it's actually closer to an Inspire than a Phantom, so whatever an Inspire can (or can't) do, it'll be pretty much the same for the P3.
If that's part of the Pilot app itself, rather than the Inspire specifically, then I'd have to say yes.So does this mean the P3 will have the same restrictions that I hear Inspire pilots have? Like not letting you fly if you don't have web access? Like not letting the motors even spin up if the 'web' determines you don't have the latest soft/firmware updates installed?
If you read it on Facebook it MUST be true !!I read this in a discussion on a FaceBook page. If this is true, I'm not sure I want to wade into this. This sounds like too much control over me and my bird from DJI. Our older units are looking better all the time.
So both inspire one and p3 does not come with a waypoints?
and can you install it with the data link?
Correct
no,,,,,,,, software is development required
No .. no-one is flying waypoints with the Inspire or the P3So have people successfully done it for that inspire one?

When/if someone gets around to programming that with the SDK you will be able to.

Older units look better? You need to read about the P3 a bit more.
Do you think you're the only person to ever fly away from web access?However, there is some 'sketchiness' about this inability to fly unless you have access to the web so your bird can be checked for the latest software/firmware. My concern is STILL - if this web access is an absolute necessity to fly, then I'm out of the mix because of where I live and where I fly..
Do you think you're the only person to ever fly away from web access?
No.
Do you think DJI designers can come up with the amazing P3 but would never think of that?
No.
Do you really think they would make one of their best flying cameras only work where there is web access?
Yes I do, if it's all about CYA. With all the bad press drones are getting I'm thinking DJI is trying to make sure they don't get sued - or worse. They want to make their products look to be as trouble free as possible, and unable to be used in ways that will cause trouble or threaten lives (flying near airports, over crowds, etc.).
Sorry but I just can't see any logical thinking in that sort of reasoning.
Really ... get away from silly "facebook" rumours and get on with life.
Currently, since none of us is actually in possession of the new P3, it's ALL pretty much rumor discussion.
Of course .. because if you have web access you'll never cause trouble or threaten lives (flying near airports, over crowds, etc It's obvious to me now.Yes I do, if it's all about CYA.

And making sure that people can't fly their drones is their way to make sure they don't get sued.
That all makes perfect sense now!
Get real .. DJI aren't going to make what will be their best selling drone unable to operate away from internet access.
That would be more stupid than thinking they would or thinking that would somehow make things safer.
So have people successfully done it for that inspire one?
SDK access is not currently enabled for the Inspire, but is definitely in the works, according to their SDK website. I'd imagine it would become available once it's available for the P3.
