You can specify that altitudes should be above ground level (AGL) in the grid setup options. N

Hi, To create a grid, you need to add 3 POIs to your map which will define the area to be covered by the grid. The number of waypoints in the grid is largely determined by the altitude which you choose to fly and the desired overlap between photos. Right click on the grid button to change...

VLM version 2.8.4 is now available. Download link can be found in the first post of this thread as usual. Recent versions of VLM should automatically download the update. This release fixes the bug reported in #1165 above which was due to a change in the page layout of the Litchi Mission Hub...

@HBRSNTD @DJ Wes Thanks for the heads-up - I'll get onto it when I can. Looks like Litchi's recent update has broken something. N

VLM Version V2.8.3 is available for download. Recent versions of VLM should download the update automatically - if not then the link is available in the first post of this thread as usual. Only very minor changes from 2.8.2 : 1) Bug where certain wp properties were undefined in grid option...

Hi Slup - sorry I missed this one. For some reason I am no longer getting alerts when a post is made to this thread. I will look into it asap. N

Hi, VLM is still working for me - anybody else having this problem? I'm not sure but I think the problem may be something to do with an incorrect temp file setting for your windows user. VLM writes the kml file to your temp folder and is having some problems doing so. To check this, open the...

I believe Google allow 40,000 API requests per month with no charge - and after that they will charge you $5 per thousand requests. Note that each API request can contain multiple locations. VLM handles waypoints in chunks of 40 - so a mission of 100 waypoints would require 3 API requests. N

Virtual Litchi Mission V2.8.2 is now available for download. The link can be found in the first post of this long thread. The only change from V2.8.1 is that the maximum size of grid missions has been increased to 1000 waypoints for users who have supplied a private Google Elevation api key...

Hi, Yes - because I have not yet updated the code. In my earlier post I suggested that this may be a solution to your problem and asked for any other suggestions. Nobody came with any alternative suggestions and so I will make the changes and upload a new version of VLM as soon as I find...

This question has come up a few times before... Take a look at this thread which gives some more background and tells you how to get your own key N

As you have discovered, it is very easy to create missions with a excessively large numbers of WPs when using the VLM Grid option. When processing a mission, VLM retrieves the elevation of every WP and every POI from the Google Elevation API and there is a daily limit on how much elevation data...

Hi, You cannot have been using VLM for quite some time - v2.5.0 is more than 3 years old and has been disabled for several months already. Please upgrade to v2.8.1 - it has more features, is more accurate and fewer bugs. Also, I am not prepared to put any time into maintaining old releases and...

Hi, Try starting VLM while holding down the ctrl key. You will be given the option to reset VLM to initial conditions. This can happen if VLM shuts down abnormally for some reason. N

That's OK - the browser extension should really have better name to avoid confusion!! N
