Hi guys (and ladies),
a quick and I hope not too silly question.
I am currently building a laptop based gcs (Lenovo Thinkpad). The APM software works great and at home I get good results. But a thought just occurred to me (little slow I know) when in the field, I have no wifi / wlan so I am assuming that I won't get the nice maps view on the right hand window with the waypoints. Have I missed something obvious?
If this is indeed the case, what does the rest of the UAV world do - other GCS program with saved maps, or connection via mobile phone / sim-card?
Greetings from Munich
Kit.

You could use your phone as a Bluetooth/ wifi hotspot.
My dell has a 3g modem with sim slot behind the battery, I just pop in my mobile broadband sim.
