Thanks Prismatic on that tip to turn Verbose On. I checked it out and sure enough VLM is correctly using the Google Elevation API as the elevations of WP1 and WP2 are correct. The problem seems to be in Mission Hub as the elevations of the WP's don't match. From the log, the difference in...
Thanks again Facherty.
Maybe the developer of VLM can chime in on this problem. It seems like VLM is not using the Google Map Elevation API.
I tried it with and without my Google Map API key and come up with the same WP1 ground elevation of 1053.2 In Mission Hub and VLM. Google Earth is correct...
Thanks Facherty for your great help.
As you have suggested I have unchecked the private box.
Here is the reference:

WP 1 ground in Mission Hub = 1053.2 in WP info box. Google Earth = 1037 (1097-60)
WP 2 ground in Mission Hub = 1263.9 in WP info box...
Thanks Facherty for looking into this. This flight was not my normal routine as I almost always end the mission close to where I started.
I get the same results in Google Earth as you have shown. I wonder if you could do me a favor and import the .kml file into VLM or Mission Hub and click on...
I have a very simple waypoint mission I created in VLM, however I seem to have a major discrepancy with the elevations compared to Google Earth. To simplify the problem there is an start point WP1 and an endpoint WP2. My settings are set to USE ONLINE ELEVATION. Both WP's are set to 60m above...
MISSIONS->Export as CSV. It goes into GE and displays the mission ok, however the .CSV file is missing from my Watch Folder.
Under VLM Setup->Mission Settings I have unchecked "Delete files in Watch Folder after Use"
Solved:
1. Go into Mission Settings and set Heading Mode to Auto(TNW)
2. Place your waypoints (headings will automatically be pointed towards next waypoint)
3. MISSIONS->Export as CSV
4. CLEAR all Waypoints
5. SETTINGS->HEADING MODE->CUSTOM(WD)
6. MISSIONS->Import-Select the file you created in...
Hi Folks,
Just a newbie here but looking forward to being involved in this great forum. I've been using the Litchi App and VLM for a few months now and have reviewed the help files extensively. One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to change the heading from Auto(TNW) to Custom (WD) for...
