DJI Go4 Waypoint Mission Converter for Litchi

[DJ Wes]

I have written a converter which will take a DJI Go4 waypoint.db file and extract and convert a waypoint mission into Litchi's CSV format. The converter may be found here:

Litchi Mission Utilities

Web utilities used to design, convert, and create Litchi waypoint missions. Conversion to other popular waypoint formates are also provided.

DJ, I am a big fan of Litchi and use it for repeatable missions and documentation for comparing changing conditions with a Mavic 2P. The lack of Litchi support on the M3 series has me firmly affixed to the M2.
How difficult would it be to do the reverse of your app, e.g. take a Litchi mission plan and convert it into a DJI waypoint mission?

I do have a "Litchi to Mavic 3 Converter" that would allow you to plan flights with Litchi's Mission Hub and then fly them with a Mavic 3. The uploading of the KMZ file to the Mavic 3 is a bit ugly but it does work.

I'm assuming here that you are referring to converting a Litchi mission into a Go4 mission for a Mavic 2. While that is certainly possible, since Litchi does support the Mavic 2, I'm not sure I see the point of doing so.

If you meant that you wanted to convert a Litchi mission to a Mavic 3 mission, I already have a converter for that.

Yes, that is what I meant. That will make it that much easier when I get that bird. Thank you for your hard work and your reply.

Are DJI GO 4 waypoint files the same as DJI Pilot waypoint files? What I am trying to do is plan a grid waypoint route in DJI Pilot, convert it to Litchi (csv) and then convert it to DJI Fly waypoint format to execute it onbthe consumer Mavic 3.

No. In DJI Go4, all waypoint missions are stored in an SQLite database. In DJI PIlot (and DJI Fly), each waypoint mission is stored in a separate KMZ file using the WPML language.

Yes, that is possible but it doesn't involve DJI Go4. You can convert a DJI Pilot mission to Litchi CSV format, then back to a Mavic 3 mission using my converters.

Great, thank you! Are we talking about DJI Pilot 1 or 2?

Sorry. Pilot 2, which is used with the Mavic 3 enterprise series of drones.
