Flying a Route?

KillaMavic · Mar 18, 2017

Hello..
As I've said I'm new to Drone flying and the Mavic.
As per my Avatar, I live next to a Country Park over here in the U.K.
I'd like to send My Mavic around the Shore of one of the Lakes( it's Nature Reserve) ..
Is there a way using the DJi app to plan the Route and then let the Bird fly itself??

Again apologies for sound Stupid BUT having read on here about seemingly Problem after Problems I'm getting increasingly less Confident!!

Litchi well let you program from the webpage using Google maps then let you upload that program to your Mavic but you should know how to fly your drone.

Autopilot

Litchi or Autopilot depending on your phone or tablet preference. But as someone else has said you should learn the basics first and stick to DJI GO and within easy line of sight. Waypoint flying is pretty advanced.

Also worthing noting that if it's a nature reserve you should be mindful of the wildlife, I fly near a large lake with a wildlife reserve at one end. At certain times of the year I will avoid the area so not to spook nesting birds etc.

Yeah, that was me.
This route might take a while. Specially because the endpoint is 140ft lower than the start point (a waterdam)
