Plug-and-fly RC 3
The DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 enumerates over USB-C OTG and streams one 13-byte HID report at about 198 Hz. Connect, grant permission, fly.
FPV Map turns Android into an FPV simulator. Plug in a DJI FPV Remote Controller 3, open Google’s photorealistic 3D map, and fly a virtual Avata 2 over actual streets, rooftops and coastlines — no aircraft required.
Features
Everything is tuned for the DJI Avata 2 and RC 3 — not a generic gamepad, not a generic quad. What you feel on the sticks is what the app was built around.
The DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 enumerates over USB-C OTG and streams one 13-byte HID report at about 198 Hz. Connect, grant permission, fly.
Google Maps 3D renders real buildings, terrain and coastlines beneath the virtual drone. The map is the home screen — not a flat backdrop.
A goggle-inspired HUD keeps horizon ladder, altitude, speed, heading, battery and link health in view while you fly.
Angle mode with self-levelling, spring-centred sticks and throttle-centre hover. Switch to Sport feel from the HUD when you are ready.
Drop pins, draw ground routes and areas, save flight plans and jump between shots. Export and import plans as portable JSON.
Guided stick calibration, deadzone, expo, invert, sensitivity and per-controller profiles. Your RC, your feel.
How it works
Plug the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 into your phone with a USB-C OTG cable. Grant the USB permission once and tap Connect.
FPV Map starts on Google’s 3D map. Search for a place or anchor to your current location, then arm the simulator when you are ready.
Both sticks self-centre, so throttle centre means hover. Use the RC shutter to grab a map photo or record a flight clip.
Compatibility
FPV Map is built for one controller and one flight feel. That focus is why the input path is proven on real hardware instead of assumed from a spec sheet.
Test with no powered aircraft connected.
FPV Map only reads the controller. It never sends commands to an aircraft and never flashes firmware.
Only the device above has been tested on real hardware. More phones are being validated; do not assume your model is supported until it is listed.
