I have tried everything I can think of, but I cannot locate my waypoint files on my DJI Smart Controller.
The only waypoint folder I can find is:

Storage > 0 > DJI > dji.go.v4 > waypoint

.. but that folder only contains a single file called .nomedia

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Please help

Regards
Robert

Missions stored using Go 4 on the Smart Controller use a different storage method from newer drones that use DJI Fly. Newer drones store missions in KMZ files in a waypoint folder. Older drones (using the DJI Smart Controller) store missions in an SQLite database file named "waypoints.db". Look for a file named "waypoints.db". I have a utility that can extract and convert mission from a waypoints.db file. I do not have a utility that will import a waypoint mission into the waypoints.db file.
