3G for internet access / Google earth in the field?

Posted by Neil Smith on June 18, 2011 at 12:59pm

What are people doing to get google earth out in the field? I am thinking about getting the tether plan on my Iphone4 to be able to access internet and thus google earth in the field.

Just FYI im looking at being abole to cache an entire area. ie a given box draw by the users. this is on my todo list.

google earth caches it's data

so if you scroll around your flying field at home (at various zoom levels, all you need on the field), you are able to use that area without internet connection

-> no need for internet on the field

I plan to do just that, wifi hotspot from iPhone4. However I'm lucky, my provider doesn't charge extra for tethering.
