Yes, my first thought was get an Eye-Fi card that does Direct Mode. I think all the latest ones are capable of creating of this....but, there was time before it was just 'mobi' or 'Pro X2' (and all class 10)...
They did 'Connect X2', 'Mobile X2', 'Explore X2', 'Pro X2'.....class 6. (different levels had different available sizes, Connect was 4GB, Mobile/Explore were 8GB, and Pro was 8 or 16 GB.) Direct Mode originally wasn't available in all of them, but later was....forget if there was anything different left between Connect and Mobile other than size. Explore added Geotagging and Hotspot support, though seemed to me these were extras that you paid annually for.... Pro did these as well, but allowed transfers of RAW images. There are also older pre-X2 cards.... Eye-Fi Home, Eye-Fi Share, Eye-Fi Share Video, Eye-Fi Explore Video Somewhere there are 5 Eye-Fi cards....a 2GB Eye-Fi Share, a 4GB Eye-Fi Share Video, an 8GB Mobile X2, and then 2 8GB Pro X2's.....got the Mobile X2 and one of the Pro X2's as refurbs. (and some how I've come to have more working cameras than Eye-Fi cards...) Here's info on Direct Mode to iOS: https://x2help.eyefi.com/hc/en-us/articles/200247353 Or Android: https://x2help.eyefi.com/hc/en-us/articles/200183713 Or a computer: https://x2help.eyefi.com/hc/en-us/articles/200143167 As I recall, I tried it once, but didn't get it to work....ended up just using tethering on my phone (first trip I did this, I got a text from my provider that I had used 80% of data ... and I was only a few days into the billing cycle.... though more likely reason was chrome decided to update itself.... a later trip, I tried to make use of hotel wifi as much as possible, though ended up using tethering... Direct might work with my newer Android tablet... wonder if I'll get around to trying.... Also, not sure what the range of wifi-direct would be....
