[QUOTE="Ted Schoenfelder, post: 83834, member: 7687"] My response to your item numbers are below: [LIST] [*]This has been my exact experience. I’ve had difficulty uploading sometimes, but usually I’m successful after trying a couple times. However, DJI has yet to confirm they have access to any of my 55 flights. I tried to get confirmation over a six-month period after one crash. Not acceptable! [*]Not sure what you are describing here. I set all parameters, like RTH, in DJI Go 4, then connect the Googles.
