Hello DJI Friends,
I recently discovered an interesting glitch concerning the micro SD card and updating the Mavic Pro 2 drone, among many other glitches that were associated with the firmware update process. To keep this brief as possible. I will set the conditions: Equipment used: 2018 Mac Mini, DJI Mavic 2 Pro, DJI Mavic 2 Controller, iPhone XS, iPad Pro 2018.

- Problem: noticed that a waypoint feature was available in the DJI Go4 app. I did not have access to this feature on my iOS device... (AKA "Why don't I have that, never seen it, what is Waypoint 2.0)...was I supposed to have a waypoint 1.0? hmmm
- After much research, I determined that I missed the boat somehow and I proceeded to update my iOS device and drone with the latest firmware (iOS App Ver 4.3.12, Aircraft 01.00.03.00).
- The application appeared to be the most recent update according to Apple's app store, no update
- The aircraft firmware needed an update so I did the normal automated way via my iOS device connected to my controller then the drone does an automatic update. I got to 99% and it said to disconnect the data cable to refresh. I made 4 failed attempts.
- After failing, I forced the update via DJI assistant directly connecting the aircraft to my computer. It worked, according to the DJI assistant interface.
- I turned everything off and reinitialized the controller, drone and application but still no waypoints feature on my device.
- After verifying that I did not “miss something”. I decided to take a bit more drastic measure.
- I deleted the DJI Go4 application off of my iPhone XS and my iPad Pro 3rd Gen.
- I reset my device then reloaded the DJI Go4 application from Apple’s application store.
- I reinitialized my controller, aircraft and device.
- The DJI Go4 application had no waypoint feature but did tell me that my firmware was inconsistent. SAY WHAT! Fine, do an automatic update. After the auto-update (success), There it was, my WAYPOINTS feauture but uh oh, my SD card was not inserted or so it told me “No SD Card”. Say What!
- After tossing my SD card into a PC for a reformat, it worked. I repated the process with my iPAD. Guess what. The DJI Go4 application proclaimed my firmware was inconsistent. Again, keep in mind, I changed nothing. I used the same battery, controller, etc. Okay, update that out of date firmware, lol….And I lost my SD card again according to the application.
