Flight Records

[Bchbound]

Hi,

I saved my flight records to my PC using iTunes. Now how do I use those files to see my flights on a map ?

The text files are in Chinese and I can't open the .DAT files.

Is there a separate web site or app that can use these files to see a tracking of where I flew? I have seen that others have done this and I would like to also.

Thanks

You can read the DAT flight logs with DatCon.

And you can read the txt files with @msinger's PhantomHelp website or the AirData website.

i found it easiest to link my dji account to my airdata account. I've enabled "Auto-sync flight records" in DJI fly and airdata automatically loads the flight logs from the dji cloud. The free airdata account has a maximum of 100 flight logs.

To clarify, that's the most recent 100 flight logs. So, it could be a good option for those who only ever need to look at recent flights (or don't fly often).

Thanks for all the responses. How do I get from reading the data to a map with a green line showing my flight path for the whole flight?

One option -- upload your TXT flight log here. See that page for more instructions.

Airdata.com does all that for you for free and you don't have to deal with any file transfers once it's set up. The flight paths are yellow though...

I wanna know what you were flying! Love seeing the patterns after flight and trying to work out what I was doing to get such a tangle !!!

"I wanna know what you were flying!" With all those twists, turns and about faces, a politician by the looks of it.

Ha ha definitely some strange Cummings and goings...

CsvView can accept both .txt and .DAT log files. CsvView has a GeoPlayer that shows the flight overlaid on the geo image.


If you want green you'll need to change the color of the flight path.

If you go into settings on airdata.com you can change the colour of your path
