More like ... someONE important was in that area, or there was a secret action no one wanted videocast, going on. This is most likely the answer to the WHY question of "why this area?" Obviously, if it was not due to Super Bowl helicopter News crews, then it was some other 'security' issue...

I think there is an entire generation that drinks fluoride at every meal, and has lost the ability to THINK. Amazing! Just because you can afford an expensive toy does NOT mean you should be flying one! Apparently you have NOT read FAA rules, nor ever taken an FAA test for commercial operations...

You DO realize that this is EXACTLY the sort of flying that jeopardizes the freedom of all of us out there who fly these things both for recreation, and for livelihood? A 2 pound lithium-battery filled quadcopter crashing down into the high speed traffic on the Freemont Bridge would certainly...

I now this is an OLD thread, but I am having issues also but set CURVES into the Waypoint mission. I am newbie, so the comments have been highly informative thanks to all! My issue was that the camera POI position staggers as the curves are encountered, so I assume it is attempting to relocate...
