Jou just need to unzip the first one from the English site (com.google.android.gsf.login v4.4.4-1215936.apk)
And then download and install the 2 APK posted by Ender on page 26. Those 3 only, no idea why 4 are being installed.

I asked DJI a few questions Wednesday.
Do you have any idea when the maps for the BT-300 will be working?
What does certified exactly mean for DJI?
To what extent does DJI support a certified DJI device like the Epson BT-300?
To what extent does DJI work with a 3rd party in their product that DJI has certified?
Here's my reply from them so far:

Doesn't change the fact that this is still the best way to fly!

Got a reply now and per DJI I'd say they say the Epson is not a supported or certified product.
ME:
The Epson BT-300FPV is being sold as a DJI Certified device and listed to work with the Mavic and I do own a Mavic. I'm seeing a lot of concerns about it's functionality. I just purchased one myself since it said DJI certified this. I assumed it would be listed on the supported devices list for the Mavic but I don't see it.
I had a few questions before I decide about returning this or not. Can you help me?
What can I expect in regards to the maps not working?
To what extent does DJI support the Epson BT-300FPV?
To what extent does DJI work with a 3rd party vendor when DJI certifies their device?
Thank you!
DJI:
In regard to your concern, as of this time we have not released any of that kind of gadget for our unit, and we can not assure you that it will work or guarantee the performance of your Aircraft since that is a third party device.
That is why our R&D team are trying and testing devices that will be compatible for our unit and as of this time we only have the list of devices posted in our official website that is compatible with our units.
Hope this will help and thank you for your time.

Me:
Per Epson, the BT-300FPV is DJI Certified. Are they mis-advertising?
DJI:
Thank you for getting back to me.
With your inquiry, I can not answer for their part but one thing we can assure you is that if we are going to release a device that is compatible with DJI Units, it will surely be posted in our official website dji.com
Please do check first our website and see if you will find the Epson, the BT-300FPV is included as we have not yet release our own goggles for our aircrafts.

I just noticed something for the Moverio App Store. If you click Categories you get all the Apps and there's a few more pages. There's also one there that does missions like Litchi and it's free. It's called DJI Ultimate Flight and says it's 100% compatible with the Mavic.

No I hear ya this is just finding out and sharing something interesting. I bough these for their use but particularly because they were certified since I already dealt with the hassles of DJI and my phone not being certified. They basically told me to piss off. I was going to buy an iPhone and switch providers just to use the Mavic but then I found the Epsons.
Despite this all working really well, it just raises concerns for the future, like will an update one day completely screw us all and that's the end of it? The BT-300s do tell you, you can not roll back your firmware once you upgrade....

So DJI Ultimate Flight does work. It mentions Google Service needing to run but overall it functions nice and honestly I like the layout better than DJI for these goggles since things are more visible.
Still, the waypoints and missions ya'll want from Litchi are there, but not sure if they work without the Google Services yet.

ok fellas my maps started working fine without the workaround. here's what i did.
1. updated the BT300s to R2.0 FW latest rlease
2. uninstalled DJIGO4
3. restarted the BT300s
4. Sideloaded DJIGO4 4.0.3 verison
its worth mentioning that the moverio store has 4.0.5 version which gave me the map of the country i am in correctly but my location was off by many miles, when i did the above steps my location on the map came accurate.
also note that in the past i had sideloaded Google play services and loged in but they never i initialize.
Also i am now able to instal / sideload and operate successfully Amazon prime video that did not work before and youtube is working via the Moverio app store 360 app.

Odd thing about Dji saying they don't support Epson. The following article claims Dji was teaming with Epson: Epson Moverio BT-300 AR glasses make piloting a DJI drone an augmented reality experience - SlashGear
