Figure 104: When the usage is set to Mapping, you’ll see additional controls to help you
design a mission that will yield overlapping photos.
Altitude Above Ground Level
This slider controls the altitude that new waypoints will
be placed at, and moves any waypoints already at the slider’s altitude along with the
slider. This controls the height of the orange-dotted snap line seen in the waypoints
side view. Increasing your altitude will allow your photos to cover a larger area.
Cruise speed
This controls speed the drone will cruise at during this waypoint mission,
just like the cruise speed slider in the waypoints settings. If you are using a time-
triggered camera, increasing the cruise speed will put more separation between photos
on the same transect line.
Distance between Photos
We currently don’t support taking photos with a DJI camera,
but when we do, you’ll be able to use this slider to set the distance between photos
that you want. If you are using a time-triggered camera, this will display an estimate
of the distance between photos based on the cruise speed. If you adjust this slider, that
tells the app you want to lock the distance between photos, and now if you adjust the
cruise speed, the distance will stay constant and the time between photos will change.
Time between Photos
If you are using a time-triggered camera, set this slider to the time
between photos you’ve programmed into your camera. If you adjust this slider, that
tells the app you want to lock the time between photos, and now if you adjust the
cruise speed, the time will stay constant and the distance between photos will change.
Camera
This selects the field of view parameters to use for displaying the expected region
covered by the photos. If a DJI camera like a Zenmuse XT2 is connected, you’ll an
