Waypoints/Favorite Waypoints question/idea

[bKanzi]

If the new firmware/app saves ANY waypoint mission you create as a favorite. Would this file be editable before flying. I.E. Have a program that generates the waypoint files at home, then you just 'choose' this favorite file when at the field? Seems like if it saves the waypoints, then someone could devise a way to pre-generate them.

Yes. In theory this should be possible. Especially if there is simply an XML file or similar that represents it.

I was thinking the same thing!

...and use the iTunes "Add File" functionality, used for the channel hack, to add a new mission file into the DJI GO "Documents." Hmmm.

I assume you're all long gone by now, but here's my question. I'm trying to create a very long time-lapse shot for a doc I'm working on. I'm trying to create a drone shot that looks as if its a single flight of about 5 miles. To do this I need to stitch together multiple flights. Been trying to do this with waypoints but when I create waypoints. then land and move to the next position, the height of the aircraft is in relation to my remote - not AGL. Thoughts anyone?

Why is that a problem? Just adjust for the difference in elevation among the waypoints. Alternatively, get a P4P. It will fly 5 miles away, and back, on a single P4P battery!
