Description
| This Python script (Shape2DJI_Pilot_KML.py) will scan a directory, find all the ESRI shapefiles (*.shp), reproject to EPSG 4326 (geographic coordinate system WGS84 ellipsoid), create an output directory and make a new Keyhole Markup Language (*.kml) file for every line or polygon found in the files. These new *.kml files are compatible with DJI Pilot 2 on the Smart Controller (e.g., for M300 RTK). The *.kml files created directly by ArcGIS or QGIS are not currently compatible with DJI Pilot.
