Google Maps (in a laptop) will cache the last viewed map with detail as fine as viewed. Then you can go to a location with no internet and view the cache (versus the real internet data). This would be a great feature for Mission Planner since somet

Tried going back to previous version, but no dice.
Uninstalled, but that gives me this error on install, and still have the previous error on startup.
I mistakenly ordered a 4S instead of a 3S battery. Given the time it took to come, I am inclined to just keep it.I have a couple of quads that I run on 3S and on which the motors are rated for 3S. Would I be buying trouble if I tried running one on t
