One of the things I absolutely love about this tool is it’s ability to plan waypoint missions that fly the drone at true above ground level altitude. Where I live in the mountains it makes it so easy to fly in areas where the terrain changes in height drastically. One challenge though is due to the radical changing terrain, I have to have MANY waypoints to ensure the drone ascends and descends safely. Because it’s nearly impossible to get them in a perfectly straight line the drone “sways back and forth” slightly as it follows the path. It would be awesome if you could snap a straight line and then choose to ask the tool to insert waypointa “every X feet” along the line. ---

Something you can do right now to achieve the same (or similar) result is to place two waypoints, one at the beginning and one at the end of the desired straight-line route. Then begin repeatedly inserting new waypoints between the existing waypoints by clicking on the + (plus sign). This will result in a perfecly straight line of waypoints that are evenly spaced. ---

OMG I can’t believe I didn’t think of that, thank you so much! I’m going to Litchi on… ---

That worked absolutely perfectly! Thanks again.
