Private property? This is in a Woolworths shopping centre, buzzing around over the general public's heads.. this is only one photo. Prior to this there were 2 little old ladies that got quite a fright when it was coming toward them. If this was any of us flying over a crowded beach or footy game...

Yeah, cos this is totally legal. Pretty sure toy vendors are not exempt from mandatory casa regulations...

Yes I've used that one, successfully most of the time too. That's the only one I can get to work. But it doesn't have a polygon drawing tool to select the actual area to be mapped, your just stuck with a big box, and a lot of unnecessary area mapped and wasted battery. Can't have your cake and...

I remember now why I didn't bother installing GS PRO - cos it's FRIGGIN iOS ONLY!! Yet again.

That's what I thought! Well looks like PrecisionHawk need to get their act together too! Far out, how hard is it to find one app where things just work?? this map I'm trying to do is a $3000 job, and I had rescheduled again to meet the clients on site tomorrow. But now I have to hold them up...

I don't think my last reply sent. But yes I think you're right. I have sent numerous support request emails to DD and they don't seem that helpful. Not even a reply. Now my issue is that i cannot connect to DJI assistant to check the firmware version of my mavic. It just doesn't see the mavic or...

OK thanks I'll have a closer look at it then. Cheers

Have you done this? Would you care to tell me how to split a map into chunks? The way I read what your saying, the app should split the waypoints into sections within the one complete map. But it doesn't. I'd happily go n do 50 waypoints then land and change battery etc. But the only way I can...

Yeah fair point. Well I think the one and only time I've managed to get up in the air with DD - it did just as you mention - 2/3 of my map had disappeared and I only saw the first 3rd or so of the map. And DD successfully flew that. I still had to come in and change battery halfway through. And...

Ah, I see.. I was just confused cos I was reading this and it sounded like you can edit the params with the Phantom so I thought you might have been able to with the Mavic.. Phantom 3 flight controller parameters

Dronedeploy markets their product and boasts that you are able to map large areas using multiple batteries, pause/resume etc. But why aren't they informing customers that this won't work due to DJIs native restrictions? Cos DJI sure as hell don't make it known to us..

The point of trying to have a single map, is to have as little mis-matches when trying to stitch numerous chunks together. What's the point of using Agisoft or Pix4D that can handle like 5000 images in a single map, if the capture app can't even do a small mission with around 1200 images?

Thanks mate, I tried MME today having to use my wife's iPhone - was the worst, hardest to use app I've tried yet. And ultimately wouldn't load my map either. Wasted my $15 there too...

Hi. Yeah I had a look at that software - it seemed very cumbersome and expensive for my liking. Have you managed to map more than 100 waypoints in a single mission? Sounding like it's limited to 99 as well?

That's what I was trying to figure out with my post - can you edit the DJI SDK so that you can change the parameters from 99 waypoint limit to 0 for unlimited etc. You can do this with 3DR, and I read a forum on Phantom pilots where you can edit anything..
