How do I save maps to the Smart Controller?

[W2EJ]

I know people have written how to do this, but I am just not getting it. I want to cache maps to the Smart Controller at home, where I have WiFi, so I can use them later when I fly and do not have a connection. Please don’t just give an overview. I need detailed steps. I know I should be able to figure this out but I’m not. Thanx!

Thanks to all. I have my answer.

I am not sure if there is an official procedure, but I just bring up go4 and zoom in to the areas that I want cached and swipe the screen along the planned flight path. Once you see the screen paint the new swiped page satellite image, I swipe again until I have covered all the area I want cached.

Turn on controller and make sure wifi connected

And I think there is a setting in the app you have to enable too, but don't have that info right now.

This might be easier to understand, same as the above posts but via a video. This is for a DJI crystalsky monitor but it will be the same procedure.

Shoot forward to 3.11 minutes into the video and you’ll see how to do the offline maps

Thank god you put me out of my misery @Porky - I couldn't stand the suspense of what screen-grab was coming in next and when!

Why do you think it was necessary to preface your answer with “The 73 year old OP...”? You were trying to help me, which I appreciate, and then you felt the need to zing me on account of my age? Nice.

Thank you. I was missing one thing, where you press the three line menu in the upper right corner to get to the offline maps area.

Glad you got your maps sorted? @W2EJ

Ageism is rampant with social triggering these days.

Your avatar doesn't help your cause either for easy ageism sport

It's all good here with some occasional idiots, we mostly get along pretty well in these parts...
