I really couldn't care less whether Waypoints 2 comes to the
P4P .. I need waypoints missions for big boys. Waypoints 2 is fun to play with and I'm sure it will meet the needs of many recreational fliers and give many hours of entertainment in benign terrain but (always the but isn't there?) it's not even going to come close to serious usage.
For example, recently I have to do a photomosaic of a rain forest resort on 10 acres. It was situated in a tight valley in the Gold Cost hinterland. The elevation differential from the lowest waypoint to the highest waypoint was 87m (285ft) and because of the rainforest I was strictly limited in my choice of take off/ landing options having to take off from a point in the lower elevation spectrum.
Because of the rapidly changing terrain with the resort being in the valley surrounded by the forest clad ridges on two sides I had to plot way points every 5 m (18ft) (around 100 of them) and relied on DJIflightplanner to determine the optimal flight path and then exported it into litchi and went through and set all way points height to be in relation to ground elevation not the default "in relation to take off point" you get with the Go 4 app in general and waypoints 2 as a flow on.
Being able to do this before the fact on a P.C. interface with a pointing device and lots of screen real estate was in the end probably what made it possible, trying to do it on a tablet would have done my head in. It took several hours on the P.C. as it was.
I ended up with around 300 images all taken from less than 1m variation of the hieght above terrain and a perfect stitch on the first try. If I had of used waypoints 2 I would have ended up with automated flight into terrarain most likely or at best a simple halt of the mission every 5 minutes due to sensors detecting terrain. Even were it able to avoid terrain and fly over it as it came within range of the sensors the variation in height above terrain of the pictures would have rendered them all but unusable.
This is only one of several serious lacks that many other people have noted in waypoints 2 but it is an easy example to give.
As I said before, I can see no technical reason why a firmware can not be released for the P4 to use the waypoints 2 feature or any other bird operated by the GO 4 app, Litch supports everything from Spark to Matrice .. but it's going to have to be refined a long way further to move from "interesting gadget" to "serious tool".
