Importing kmz resulting in a "task type error"

[tetryl]

I am wanting to create Waypoints from a KMZ file created in GoogleEarth.,.

And when I try to import the KMZ (or KML) I keep getting a "task type error".

I have already updated the firmware to the latest and greatest.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

A KMZ file from Google Earth Pro is completely different from a KMZ file for DJI waypoints. A Google Earth Pro KMZ file contains keyhole markup data in XML format. A DJI KMZ file contains WPML code in XML format. DJI is notorious for mis-using file extensions.

Is there a somewhat easy way for me to convert the GoogleEarth Pro format into a DJI KMZ?

Or is there some software out there that might help me?

There is an easy way but it requires that you have a Litchi account. You can import a KMZ/KML file into Litchi, save it as a Litchi CSV file then convert that to a DJI KMZ file using one of my utilities.

That sounds easy enough..... How do I get one of your utilities?!

I think I found it.......

Will I need to use the DJI Fly Waypoint Mission to Litchi Waypoint Mission Converter?

No. From your first post I thought you wanted to go from Google Earth Pro to DJI Fly. I briefly explained the method in post #4.

Here are some more details.

1. Create a path in Google Earth Pro.
2. Save this path as a KML file.
3. Import this KML file into Litchi's Mission Hub.
4. Export this mission as a CSV file.
5. Use my "Litchi Mission to DJI Fly or Pilot 2 Waypoints" converter."
