Where does Go4 store waypoint missions? [Android]

Qoncussion · Mar 4, 2018

Summer '17 I flew a waypoint mission several times, that I had programmed in Go4. I'm using a newer device (phone) now, and want to copy the mission file from the old device to the new one.

Does anyone know in which specific folder these missions are stored? I just scanned through all folders in Go4 ~but came up snake eyes.

I didn't know we could save waypoint missions in GO for future use? I thought they were only temporarily saved and overwritten the next mission. But I might be wrong. I can't remember that you could name missions when saving?

This is what I picked up from the DJI forum; .....Once the mission is complete it will save it. As a side note at this point I have not worked out where it saves it, SD card etc, and is quiet annoying you can not "rename" the mission.

I never use GO for waypoints. I mostly use Groundstation Pro but that's only for IOS. For Android there's Litchi of course, which let you save missions. Doesn't help you I know.

Wonder, why DJI doesn't fix that in app it is so basic thing to have.

I fly Litchi missions often. There was one particular mission where I used Go4, then re-flew the mission several times. Go4 missions just save with a date/timestamp for the name - which is bloody useless. I needed to fly it one more time, and was hoping to just copy the mission over from my old device. Instead, I just used the old device. That said, DJI's waypoint missions are really horrible; no gimbal or recording control, you have to reset the speed each time using a sliding bar, that misses the mark every time. I have some great Litchi missions that I fly, and really like their Mission Hub (when it's working well).

Yeah - totally worth it. It does waypoints the way waypoints should be done. The Go app is just garbage for this. It also does 360 panos way better than the Go app. See:
