No option for Offline Maps

Viva · Nov 23, 2017

Hi all, sorry for making another thread about this but I can't seem to find a solution in any of the others threads on this topic.

I bought my Mavic last week and have been flying locally with my wifi/celluar on.

I now want to fly without it so looking to cache maps offline.

However I can't seem to get the option to appear in the DJI GO4 App - I am using an Android phone.

Has this option been removed?

Hi, thanks.

I don't have that option appear on the app.

I get:
- Scan QR Code
- Academy
- Flight Record
- Store
- Find My Drone
- Flight Restriction Information

On the latest update, perhaps? Didn't you update FW today?

If I open the app and load the map for the area nearby - and then go to airplane mode - will the map data stay cached and will I be able to track the flight?

Interesting. The offline maps option doesn't seem to be available on the latest version of DJI GO 4 v4.1.18.
Certainly not on mine now!

Hmmm... well that'll be a hot topic around here for the next while

Last time I looked was app 4.1.10

Luckily, I already had England downloaded ... and no plans to be anywhere else for some time.
Strangely, the thing I could never work out is how you removed downloaded maps. I'm guessing that however one should be able to do that is also gone. LOL!

I'm on .00 and still have offline maps. I don't use them much, but will need them on a very remote trip at Christmas.

I'm flying to Asia in two weeks - this could be a big problem!

Used them for a 3 months tour of Italy in the summer. Stayed offline with that phone for all 3 months to prevent any updates/uploads over mobile data.
Still want to get that data off, somehow, without just deleting it via a file manager app. There must be a way using the DJI app.
