Assuming that the OP has the standard Mavic 2 controller, Litchi WILL work with it. I think the cost is around $23. Not only can you create waypoints, you can pre-program them in your computer and scout missions before leaving home. IMO it's one of the cheapest and best upgrades you can get for an M2. Also Dronelink will work, but the learning curve is very steep.
Not sure what it is your saying the Mavic 2 only comes (Sans Enterprise) in two models the Pro and the Zoom, both have waypoints out of the box.I mistakenly bought a Mavic 2, only to find out it does not support "Waypoints".
I am now shopping for a replacement, and in the "Pro" version, is the controller worth the extra $$$$ ?
No, no you don't. Somewhat easier for some I guess, But you don't "have" to. You can install google play services and google play store and do it that way.Litchi works well with my SC. Just have to install via Amazon.
I would also like this info, Tnx.I have SC and am contemplating using Litchi. Can you fill me in on "install through Amazon?"
I would also like this info, Tnx.
Litchi works great on the Smart Controller. I downloaded it from the Amazon appstore right on the Smart Controller and installed it (cost $25 usd). There were a couple of minor issues that took me a little while to figure out, but it works perfectly. Being able to create waypoint missions online ahead of time and then just load them when you want to fly is incredible. I'm still learning all the features, but it is a very well designed program.Assuming you mean the Smart Controller (the M2P comes with the standard controller), that's really up to you. There are pros and cons.
I personally decided on just the standard, which I use with a 9" tablet.
One reason is because I feel that the superior WAYPOINT Mission application is LITCHI. They've been doing it longer than DJI, so it's more mature, feature laden, with fewer bugs.
If you are interested in LITCHI, then you might want to ask current Smart Controller owners have successfully installed it on their SC. I understand there are problems with that.

Edit: it's possible that LITCH will work on the Mavic 2 non-pro, even if the DJI controller app does not. LITCHI uses the DJI SDK in developing their app. But at least with the M2P, you will also get waypoints with DJI Go 4.
Great, Thanks much.
I was going to say the same thing.Not sure what it is your saying the Mavic 2 only comes (Sans Enterprise) in two models the Pro and the Zoom, both have waypoints out of the box.
RC1 has not been produced or sold by DJI for quite a while. RC2 is available and both are cheaper than the SC.I was going to say the same thing.
M2Z and M2P are the same bird, just different camera. You can even interchange the camera.
And it is possible to get the M2 with SC instead of the RC1. Saves you about $300.
DJI has had waypoints as far back as P3 but was rather simple and you had to fly the route to set the waypoints. Litchi improved upon it.
Thnx ! I had no idea that Amazon has an app store.
