Caltopo pulling data from remote rather than the drone

In my agency, we use the DJI Mavic 3 for search and rescue. I got CalTopo installed on the DJI RC Pro remote. We would like the drones tracks to upload directly to the map. Instead, the tracks are recording from the remote. How can I go about having the GPS from the drone import onto CalTopo rather than the remote?

    Hi Alexandru Libby, I'm curious to learn more about this setup.

    A few questions to clarify what you are asking:

    • Are your tracks recorded from the remote currently showing up on your CalTopo app?
    • If so, why does the drone need to directly upload to the map? 
    • Are you trying to get the tracks off of the controller and into a map on another device?

    I am interested in a similar setup and would like to learn more

    Sounds like the controller movement is what is being hacked, not the drone. I too an looking to get drone tracking on the map in near real- time.

    The non real-time solution is tow download the flight record text files and use a converter to convert them to gpx files.
