Best App for Waypoints

jmm123 · Nov 21, 2021

I have a Mavic 2 Pro and I have noticed a number of DJI apps.
If I am mainly doing Waypoint missions - is Litchi still the best thing out there or are one of the newer DJI apps getting better?
TIA,
John

Honestly I like more Dronelink over litchi. Drone link has many missions and more flexibility than Litchi. Also Drone Deploy is excellent but so expensive.
I need to try Maven. I bought it but I need to play with it.

I have Maven and even created and in-flight mission but I still need to tinker with it because its not pointing the camera where I had it on the in flight mission creation flight. I wish the tutorial was better. It’s all narrated by a very assuming robot voice. I’d like to hear a human express distinct characteristics about the experience of creating a mission. I use it with my MA2

I have been using Litchi for years and prefer it over Drone Link which I feel has a steeper learning curve.

DroneDeploy is not for waypoint missions.
It's a dedicated mapping app.
Using the app is free, but if you use DD for processing the images it produces, that can be expensive.

And that is why I like it more. I should specify. I use mapping in litchi with the Lawnmore preset that can be imported but is not the same. I need to admit Litchi is more stable than dronelink but litchi lacks the facade and other utilities that dronelink has. That is why I use all of them depending on what I am doing.

The OP was specifically asking about apps for waypoint flying, not for mapping missions.
Litchi is the most popular waypoint app.

Maven is only for ios, not Android?

Litchi all the way 100% log onto Litchi Mission Hub & compile the waypoint mission on your PC it works perfectly, so detailed, then syncs to your drone via the controller ( when logged into Litchi ), really enjoy using the Mavic 2 Pro with Litchi, number 1 reason why I have not sold it to purchase the Mavic 3.

I'm interested as well. I've flown dozens of missions with a phantom 3 4k with litchi as my app of choice. It seemed rock solid. I hope I can get the same performance with my new Ma2.

Is it compatible with Mavic Air 2?
