Before you start
This workflow is for supported DJI Fly waypoint missions on Android devices or DJI RC-style controllers where the waypoint folder is visible over USB. DroneGo.io is not affiliated with DJI, and every generated mission must be reviewed in DJI Fly before flight.
1. Record a placeholder waypoint mission in DJI Fly
In DJI Fly, create and save a waypoint mission. It can be as small as two points. The important part is that DJI Fly creates the mission folder and its original KMZ file.
DroneGo.io will later replace the mission file inside that folder with your planned route.
2. Design your mission in DroneGo.io
Open the planner, choose the supported drone profile, draw the route, set heights, camera intent and take-off reference, then preview the route. Registered free users can download the configured restricted monthly KMZ; Pro Pilot members can download full mission exports.
3. Connect your device or controller to the PC
Connect the Android device or DJI RC controller by USB. Choose the file-transfer option if the device asks how it should connect.
4. Find the DJI Fly waypoint folder
Navigate to this location on the connected device:
[Your Device]\Internal shared storage\Android\data\dji.go.v5\files\waypoint
There should be a folder for each waypoint mission recorded by DJI Fly.
5. Choose the mission folder to replace
Open the folder for the placeholder mission you created and note the folder name. It will look like a long identifier, for example:
40EDX2D7-E2FF-4CA0-8A94-E7C5025D0B44
Use that name in DroneGo.io so the downloaded KMZ matches the mission folder you are replacing.
6. Download the DroneGo.io mission
In DroneGo.io, paste the DJI mission folder name into the mission name box, then download the mission. The downloaded file should use the same mission identifier as the folder you are replacing.
7. Replace the KMZ inside the DJI mission folder
Copy the DroneGo.io KMZ into the matching DJI Fly mission folder and replace the existing KMZ file. If Windows warns that a file with that name already exists, that normally means you have matched the folder and filename correctly.
Only replace the KMZ. Leave the rest of DJI Fly's mission folder in place unless DroneGo.io specifically provides a tested full-folder replacement.
8. Open and review the mission in DJI Fly
Go to the flight location, follow normal drone setup and safety checks, open waypoint missions in DJI Fly, select the mission, and review it before launch. Confirm route shape, height, heading, gimbal pitch, return behavior, obstacles, airspace, weather and site conditions.
Waypoint thumbnails and mission recognition
DJI Fly stores small waypoint screenshots in the mission folder's image directory and maps them with ShotSnap.json. DroneGo.io cannot recreate DJI's real camera screenshots yet, but it can later provide generated route-summary thumbnails to make missions easier to recognise despite DJI's hidden internal naming.
For now, the safest supported website workflow is to replace the KMZ in an existing DJI-created folder and leave DJI's image folder untouched.
