Smartphone releases of Dronelink: Google Earth preview

Christian Franke

Hi,

the GOOGLE Earth integration within the simulation works perfect on PC but neither on Android nor iOS.

Pressing the Google Earth button on Android Devices nothing happens at all, on iOS an text window with rows of coordionates pops up. 

In both plattforms the usage of Google Earth from Dronelink is impossible. But it already worked

Please fix, Christian

    I just tried it in Safari on iOS and it appears to be working for me.

    Are you doing it in Safari?

    Do you have the Google Earth app installed?

    It works on Android straight in Google chrome... But not within the dronelink app

    My guess is the embedded browser doesn't like downloads. Will mark it down.

    This problem is still there after today's update.. starting Google Earth or writing an kmz within the preview window after pressing Earth button does not work in the native Android App.. in the web release it works

    This wasn't slated to be fixed in 2.5.0. If you want this functionality you need to just use Dronelink in your browser on your mobile device (not the embedded webview in the app).

    We already stated what the work-around is:

    just use Dronelink in your browser on your mobile device (not the embedded webview in the app).

    Given the fact that there is such an easy work-around, this bug is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
