It is not only a problem for charging. Many apps are made without taking tourists into account. I was in Miami last month as a European tourist. Tried to use the local parking app because it was the only way to legally park. It was impossible to do it with my European phone. It needed a lot of unnecessary details and refused me because I did not have a local number. Why don't they just have simple website where you can use your credit card ? And you are right. Cities are always problems and stress. Everywhere in the world. I find it hard to understand that so many people actually like to live in a city.

[@yorkchris10]

I looked at a quick overview video on the Turkish language. It isn't structured like the Indo-Euorpean languages. It does have influence from other languages though.

[@peace4ride]

Hi Marc, I strongly suggest you to be very careful when you are flying your drone in Turkey. There are 2 reasons behind. The first one is, although you have drone flying license, flying it in public places is strickly forbidden and you should take special permission from the Civil Aviation Authority. Otherwise, you might face fines. The other thing is, there is a GPS signal distortion system in Turkey, called Ilter. It is placed to almost all cities which is effective up to 80 kilometers. When that system (which is very often) activated, your drone thinks that it is located in Ankara and tries to fly where the home point is. You lose all your control over the drone. Hunderds of people lost their drones because of this system. Be careful!

[@MarcTravels]

Alright 🤙🏼

[@MarcTravels]

Can you pls send me a reference link? Would be much appreciated mate 🤗

[@peace4ride]

@@MarcTravels I checked it for you, however, all the official links are in Turkish. I can shortly explain the procedure for you. If you are going to fly your drone in a specific area, you have to apply for permission 10 days before. It is checked and than ”maybe” the permission is granted. There is also a fee for the application. So, as I traveller, you need fly it on your own risk. To be honest, flying drone in Turkey is just a pain in the ***. I sold mine after the strict restrictions. Bringing or buying drone in Turkey is permitted, however flying it as a hobby is 99% restricted. I know it makes no sense, however, this is how it works, unfortunately...

[@effektgeraeteinfo]

I don’t know. That would disturb also car and other gps-dependend navigation systems. Flight navigation etc. would also be impared. Could‘nt find anything about either. Im sure their would be some information, if thats true.

So ein Trubel auf den Straßen braucht man nicht wirklich. Gestern und heute bin ich Zero's Probegefahren. Erst eine DS und dann eine DSRX. Die DS mit ihrem 1,3 KW Ladegerät nur über Haussteckdose, ist nicht so richtig Reisetauglich, die DSRX mit dem Typ 2 Stecker dann schon eher. Allerdings währe mir der Kniewinkel für längere Fahrten zu spitz. Wie geht das bei Eve und dir ich habe mit meinen 1,83 auf einer SR gesessen und fand sie zu klein. Aber eins muss man beiden Maschinen lassen, die zaubern einem ein dickes 😁🤘👍Grinsen ins Gesicht. DSRX mit 225 Nm im Canyon-Mode ist der Wahnsinn.
