The battery charger is proprietary. Most of the range extenders help, all things being equal. Yes GPS. FPV quality depends on the device you use. But can be excellent.

I have had a P3S for several years. It's great for my casual purposes. The newer Phantoms are more advanced in GPS, Distance, Camera and avoidance etc.

DJI does not make them anymore and don't see any refurbish units. New they were $399.
From some dealers. So that price is getting up there. But there are no more.

Good luck!
