I am using QGIS to plan my missions. I do export the area as an KML or KMZ file.  This files are not possible to import into DJI Pilot 2 ?  The files work fine when I import then in other programs i.e. Google earth, but fails in DJI Pilot.

Does anyone know about a quickfix or workaround ?

Best regards

KMZ.JPG Opens the SHP file in Google Earth. Expand the submenu to save only the shape. Records in KMZ. Exports to the radio control.

DJI flight planning/ground control apps are quite finicky regarding kml/kmz format import.

As LV-Forestry mentioned, one workaround is to export the kml/kmz directly from Google Earth rather than from a 3rd party GIS program such as QGIS or ArcGIS. There are also online shp to kml converters that will yield a file DJI will accept.

Another option is to edit the kml in a text editor and remove all but the most basic entries. You can use a kml you know DJI accepts as a template.

Good luck!

Thanks.  I will check out the online converters and check if they are imported ok.
