Hello MavicPilots,
I hope someone can help please with some advice. I have a Mavic 2 Pro and a Smart Controller, and want to use it for creating orthorectified aerial images that can be exported as a kml-file and directly overlayed in Google Earth. I do have the stitching software (Agisoft PhotoScan) already.
What I am looking for is a free and user-friendly software to plan the waypoint mission on a desktop computer and then transfer the planned route to the Smart controller/drone. So that planning software could be, for example, the Litchi Mission Hub where one can well see the Google satellite images. However, I read here that Litchi isn't the best software for that purpose and others like DroneDeploy or DroneHarmony are better.

Do you have helpful advices on the following requirements:
- The planning software should be for free and based on Google Earth imagery for selecting the spatial extent and starting point of the mission.
- It should enable the planning on a Windows desktop computer but not via an app.
- It should be possible to make offline at the site (without access to internet) corrections to a waypoint mission, such as moving the centre of a rectangle by about a few dozen meters to the side.
- Based on information on the sensor size of the camera and lens properties, the software should automatically create a flight path that allows user-specified forward- and sideward overlaps of images and it should provide information on the remaining battery status after completing the mission.
At the end, I want to use the geo information from each image on altitude, longitude and latitude to stitch the georeferenced aerial image.
I am curious to hear your suggestions.

Photogrammetry with Litchi, anyone doing it? Settings?
Hi, while I know that there are better softwares geared to this (like DroneHarmony for example) I was wondering if someone tried that successfully with a flight path set up in Litchi Mission hub. If you did, what where your flight parameters? Height above ground, distance between photos...
