Hello, fellow drone meisters. I am dabbling in the dark art of flying grid mapping missions using Litchi with my older Mavics to create a 2D ortho-mosaic image by later" stitching together" all the photographs taken at 5-second intervals along the drone's "lawn mower flight path."
To keep the waypoint count down below 98, I am trying to find a way to batch-delete all waypoints EXCEPT those that lie at the ends of each lawn-mower pass of the drone, at the point where the drone makes an about turn to fly in the opposite direction. I found that by simply batch-deleting waypoints, without having a means to set those end-point waypoints as "read only" so that they are not allowed to scoot over to "fill the gaps" that appear as I batch-delete non-essential waypoints, that shifting of waypointws as I delete others has the effect of deforming the flight path at those end-points, which I would rather did not happen.
So, my question is whether any of Litchi's more experienced users can describe the steps needed to fix specific Litchi waypoints at their current GPS location, as a prelude to deleting numerous other non-essential waypoints that lie along the flight path between the end-points of each lawn mower pass of the drone. Any advice that can be offered in this regard would be greatly appreciated. As a footnote, I plan all my Litchi missions on the Litchi Flight Hub, and never on a mobile device. Thanks in advance for any pointers that can be offered.
