Really interested in making this work, but for whatever reason can’t get the files to move correctly. Is there a way to very simply explain what I need to do to move existing Litchi mission into DJI Fly to allow my
M3P fly the mission?
Its all explained on the INSTRUCTIONS Pages
Link HERE
... but here is my take '
for DUMMIES'
* Get your Litchi Mission into the Mission Hub.
* Export your Mission as a CSV File - to a Preferred folder lets call it folder XXX
* Run your CSV through DJ WES's Online Utility to Convert the .CSV to a .KMZ which you will download from the Utility into Folder XXX

That was the Easy Part.... Now the worst part
Waypoints Files on DJI FLY on the
DJI-RC - is stored in the waypoints folder.
You can locate this in the file Explorer by swiping down on FLY and hitting the Hexagon (Top Right)
but you dont get a fully open Explorer here - ...
TO get full access >Locate Storage > internal storage > Music and Audio > and click on
Audio files
... Then click on the top left of the page (three lines) to get a mini explorer on the bottom left -
Now navigate (at the bottom Left) to :
dji rc > Android > data > dji.go.v5 >
files
... and then scroll down to the bottom of the Page...
you will see
waypoint *** (note the *** we will return here)
If you click into waypoint it opens up a list of folders - with Long checksumID names (Each of these represents a custom Waypoint folder that you have created in Waypoints) -
AND if you click on any one of them you will finally find the same ID but with the extension .
KMZ
(also there may be an image folder which may retain a camera image or a Map)
BUT... the KMZ file is the one that
needs to be replaced somehow by the New KMZ created (See ### above)
... AND ... you have to KEEP the Same
Complicated Long Name of the KMZ file.
Replacing this is Not too Easy because the DJI-RC is 'Overprotected' and does not allow easy Replacement or updating.
Furthermore I found this impossible to find on the PC Explorer - because when hooking up with my PC (via USB), somehow android permissions makes this section
INVISIBLE
Bringing in the LITCHI KMZ
So my method - was (as was suggested somewhere)
1) On the DJI-RC Fly app, Create a DUMMY Waypoint while Flying (two points will do) - This creates a new entry (with a New RandomID name folder) in
waypoint folder .
2) Stop the Flight - Use the above method to locate the WHOLE
waypoint folder (see *** above) - and
copy this ENTIRE FOLDER and Contents - to an accessable folder maybe on the Memory card. (It must be a place accessable to copy and replace by your PC or Phone)
BTW: Copying in the RC explorer is done by CLICKING (and Holding the Folder) till a check mark appears, then using the Top Right hand Menu ... to select copy to... - then navigate to your destination folder - and hit the COPY button at the bottom right)
3) in my case I put it in the DCIM folder of my Memory card.
4) then You can connect your RC to your Computer or Phone (USB3) or Just take out the Memory card from the RC - to your computer -and operate on the folder.
5) Locate the DummyID KMZ in the (Same Name) DummyID folder
... this may be tricky because all folders look similar (except for the ID) - but I used the "
Map_preview" folder which holds images of maps of your waypoints to locate the right ID for my 'Dummy' - and...
Finally change the Dummy KMZ file to be your New KMZ file (see ### above) - by deleting the dummy and retaining the DummyID name for the new .KMZ file.
6) Now copy the whole
waypoint folder back from the card to the correct position on the DJI RC - by replacing the Original
waypoint folder. (see *** above)
NOTE: - if permissions are a problem - it will not overwrite, and instead adds a
waypoint(1) - you will need to delete the orginal and rename the new one to just
waypoint
Then YOU're DONE - Go out and FLY - Your Dummy now has your Litchi Mission. (
Be careful tho, the Mavic Waypoint missions force Bezier curves which may cause S shaped between a straight route to round the corners.) -
Someone proactively commented that to get almost straight lines between points one can insert TWO points at a Waypoint (close to each other) - that takes care of the Curve.
Have Fun !
WOW !!!! Im looking at my text above - This is a REAL MISSION to do !!!! but doable Quickly when you have done it once
Hope this helps some desperate person (LOL)
