Hi Bill. Is it possible to use offline maps on a SD Card and have the Smart Controller access them that way? Sometimes I get to places there is no cell service.
I don't know about loading them on an SD card but it is possible to pull up a map of the area you intend to fly while you are hooked up to WiFi. Just navigate to the region you intend to fly by sliding the map around with your finger. You should see the maps start to load. Make sure the cached maps option is checked in the menu.
The map on my smart controller has gone it is now a picture of world wide country’s how do I get the map back to how it was when I bought it ? The map was of Victoria Australia
Do you have any idea why my home point and flight track would not be showing up on the map anymore? This happened just after I did the most recent update. Thanks.
@@BillBongle Hey. I figured out after getting some help from a forum that the newest version too the Fly ap has a bug that makes the map not show the home point and flight track. I was able to set it back to an earlier version and it works now. Thanks
The same problem...before update the map was exist after update no map ....when I want to to return I have to use back to home or directions circle and the directions circle not accurate
It is possible to cache the maps when you are connected to WiFi by navigating the the place you intend to fly. You can also fly without updating the maps but you will not have the advantage of having the detail. If the new location has wifi or data connection you can update at the new location. Some people connect the remote wifi to their smart phone. This will work if your phone and data plan support the hotspot capability.
Hi Bill, you make really good videos, clear and easy to understand so people can build their knowledge. I wonder if I could ask you a question about the Smart Controller, linked to maps. When I got my first drone it was a Spark, I used iOS and Litchi, with Google Maps. Now I have upgraded to a Mavic Zoom and have a Smart controller, I’m super happy with everything apart from one thing, the Maps. When I’m in the DJI go4 app to do waypoints and such like the maps are really poor, very outdated and not very detailed or clear for planning missions. Is there a way to use Google maps on the smart controller? If there is please share it as my experience with litchi set the bar with the maps, now I have a better drone and controller but poor maps😀 Thanks Jason (UK)
Thanks, I am glad to know you found value in the videos. You know, that's a great question. The smart remote is very similar to the Crystal Sky Monitor so here's something I tried on the Crystal Sky. I was able to go to the google play store and download and install google services then google maps. I have not tried accessing these services in DJI Go 4 yet but it works with the Autel Explorer. No guarantee this will work. Good luck! Google maps play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps
@@dirtygravy4172 Yes it does work. The last update I did on the Enterprise model allowed me to download a cached map in advance of my flight. Remember, you will need to have a wifi and internet connection for this to work. Thanks.
Finally someone who gets straight to the point and actually knew what they were talking about ✌️
Thanks!
thanks Bill for taking the time for this video
You are very welcome

Hey Bill. How do I change the map from Map box to Google maps? Also I am connected to wifi and I see the map but not finding my location.
See the reply above for a possible answer.
@@BillBongle ok cool. Thanks so much.
do you know why the restricted areas don t show up in the smart controller?
Try it again with he latest update and also make sure you are connected to a wifi device when you are on site.
Great video. It's posible pass a direction ti Smart Controller from Google Maps Smartphone?
I think you could upload a KML file from Google earth but not sure how you would pass a file over from your phone.
Do you have any idea why my home point and flight track would not be showing up on the map anymore? This happened just after I did the most recent update. Thanks.
I don't but I'll try to replicate it on mine and let you know.

@@BillBongle Any news on this did google maps with navigation work for you?
