The "real" expert is msinger.  He's the one who developed the phantomhelp log viewer - a truly amazing tool, seamlessly enabling anybody not only a quick view of a readable DJI Go app log, but also a google maps view of the flight path and even the ability to download the log in .csv format in an instant.  And he's the one who allows everybody on the planet unlimited use of it.  I'm certain his web page has enabled dozens and dozens of pilots to retrieve their lost DJI aircrafts which likely would never have been found, and he does it all thanklessly, quietly remaining in the shadows, never asking for a dime.

Thanks for your post.

I agree without reservation.  There are not enough ways to express thanks equivalent to his contributions.  He's my first source for purchases when the time comes.

If it is still powered and you have contact then you can turn on the ESC beeping, you can hear that from a long way off!

Hmmm.... I missed that.  Would you point me to how that can be done.  Thx.  [ I'm sure I'll never need it (wink) ]

So the fight logs and GPS data is stored in the controller?

The app works like a black box data recorder.
Here's a short example of what it does:  https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... =160680&pid=1502716

The data shows much more including joystick inputs each 1/10th of a second but that case was easily solved without the need for a lot of analysis.

Brilliant!  Thanks SO much.  [ I would never have drilled down that far. ]  Reminds me of searching for Easter Eggs hidden in developer's secret places :-)
