    Mini 4K waypoints?

    This is news to me! Neither the Mini 4K nor the Mini 2 SE (upon which the 4K is based), have the waypoint flight mode. If this has changed, please share your source of information.

    No, it doesn't. Not exactly. I have a detailed description of how Litchi's "Above Ground" works here: https://www.litchiutilities.com/docs/aboveGround.php

    No data KMZ to RC

    If you are doing this on a Windows computer you should simplify this by unchecking the "Hide extensions" option. Doing so will make the above task much easier.

    No data KMZ to RC

    I think this is a clue to the problem. If you want to see if the file contains any data, just check the file size. In a private message to me you suggested that I open the file in Notepad and use that to change the extension. This is another clue to the problem. The files that you are...

    RC Pro - anyone make an educated guess about compatibility with upcoming Mavic 4 Pro?

    The RC Pro is O3 and O3+. The Mavic 4 will be O4 at a minimum like the Air 3 and 3S. DJI could also come up with O4+ for all we know. In the past, DJI has updated controller firmware to accommodate later Ocusync versions but they have not done that to make the RC Pro compatible with the Air 3...

    MSDK for Mini 4 Pro released!

    The Mini 4 Pro has native waypoints. This means that the waypoint mission is uploaded to the drone and then the drone would not need to rely on a connection to the controller to complete the entire mission. Litchi’s implementation allows the user to select either the “DJI Engine” (native...

    No data KMZ to RC

    This is because a KMZ file is not plain text file that can be viewed in Notepad. Instead, a KMZ file is a compressed archive. You could uncompress it with unzip but there should be no need to do that. In my conversion utilities I include a link to this page that describes how to correctly...

    My Way of Creating Waypoints for My Mavic 3 Classic

    In waypointmap.com he is generating a DJI-compatible KMZ file comprised of "template.kml" and "waylines.wpml" containing the WPML language for DJI drones. Waypointmap.com will work for DJI drones if you desire to create mapping missions. A Google Earth Pro KMZ file contains a KML file with...

    That was true until March 17th when DJI added support to their MSDK for the Mini 4 Pro. Now, the new Litchi Pilot app will work with the Mini 4 Pro.

    MSDK and Mavic 3 Series

    DJI has made it clear that they have no interest in providing MSDK support for the Mavic 3, however, their recent addition of Mini 4 Pro support to MSDK v5 gives us a glimmer of hope. I have created a work-around for those with a Litchi account to convert their Litchi missions into DJI...

    MSDK for Mini 4 Pro released!

    I just heard back from the Litchi developers about the questions I listed above. 1. Yes, they will add support for the Mini 4 Pro to the Litchi Pilot app. 2. They will provide both "Virtual Stick" and "Native" waypoint support if they can. 3. They will provide a way to specify the drone in the...

    MSDK for Mini 4 Pro released!

    Both Litchi and DJI use splines to define a flight path based on control points (waypoints). Splines are used for many things including movements and paths in video games, the shape of the body of your car, the case of your smart phone, and many other things. The shape of the spline is...

    My Way of Creating Waypoints for My Mavic 3 Classic

    Impossible. While both Google Earth Pro and DJI waypoints use a file with the KMZ extension, they are different file types. A Google Earth Pro KMZ file is simply a compressed KML file. The KML file contains data using the Keyhole Markup Language developed by Google. A DJI KMZ file is a...

    MSDK for Mini 4 Pro released!

    While it is exciting that DJI has finally provided MSDK support for the Mini 4 Pro, there are a few unanswered questions. 1. Will Litchi now add support for the Mini 4 Pro in their Litchi Pilot app? The answer to this question is almost certainly "yes". Unlike DJI, I see no reason why the...
