OK, the only thing I know about Litchi is something I don't understand so let's say I know next to nothing. PLEASE jump in and correct me if I'm wrong in something I say below.
What I have seen Litchi used for is to program very long, very far away "Waypoint Missions" - which, as I understand it, is: You program, take off, go here, turn camera and do this there, then go there and then there and then come back here. I was unaware that the Phantom could store commands and execute them on a timed basis. I am making an assumption here because I've seen videos of flights that are crazy long in total distance and range form controller, with plenty of things between take off the drone, and I'm convinced that communications with the controller must be lost during at least portions of the trip.
Educate me, if you would please; does Litchi upload the entire mission to the drone and then send it off to execute commands at timed intervals? If it doesn't, then what happens when communications with the controller are lost?
I see that the DJI Go app has the ability to set Waypoints but I haven't looked at it yet. How does that compare to Litchi? I'm expecting that it's similar but Litchi does much more. Like?
Lastly; other than excellent Way point missions - what else does Litchi do on a Phantom 4 that DJI Go does not?
Thank you in advance,
