Import Google Earth Pro KML/KMZ file with multiple polygons

[baddog]

To All,

I created a KML & KMZ file in Google Earth Pro. This particular KML/KMZ file has 2 different polygon areas designated in Google Earth. Basically it is two potential solar fields, across the street from each other, (See Example Below). When I try to import this KML into DJI Pilot 2, on my RC Pro Enterprise controller, I get "Invlaid KML Format" error message. I want to import it as an "Area Map", but I did try all 3 types, same error.

Could this be, because the DJI Pilot 2 app does not support daisy chaining flight routes together? There is a feature in Dronelink, that supports this, so I will try it there next.

However, I can get this to work, if I import each polygon as a separate KML file in the Pilot 2 App.

What you have shown should work. At least it does in the Flight Hub 2 web application. In your example from Google Earth Pro, you have created a folder containing two polygons. The resulting KML data will contain a folder element with two "Placemarks" where each "Placemark" contains one "Polygon".

An alternative that you can try is to create a KML/KMZ file with no folders but with one "Placemark" containing two "Polygons". To do this in Google Earth Pro, follow these steps:

1. Create two separate "Polygons".
2. Select both of them.
3. Right-click on them and select "Combine into Multi Geometry".
4. Save the resulting "Polygon" (not the folder) into a KML or KMZ file.
5. Import this new KML/KMZ file into Flight Hub 2.

If the above does not work, try importing your polygons into the Flight Hub 2 web application.
