Litchi ground elevation. Can't believe I missed it!

[marklyn]

I consider myself pretty adept at using Litchi and use it almost exclusively with my Mavic Pro. However, I just realized (saw) each waypoint tells you the elevation above the first waypoint. Big duh. That's big for me and makes it super easy when moving through waypoints on the mission hub to guesstimate elevation along the flight. Wow. Can't believe I missed that all this time.

It used to be only in IOS that you got the altitude, maybe Android now has it, I do not know as I fly IOS.

No, I'm talking about the online (mission hub) screen where you create missions that you upload to your device.

Yeah my mistake.

You may wish to read through this thread Litchi mission height question which discusses some of the issues arising around TO altitude and terrain height.

My experience is that Litchi's waypoint altitudes are indexed to the takeoff point... unless you check the "Above Ground" box just below the Altitude setting.
I'm planning a mission over water, and will test to see if "Above Ground" also applies to "Above water surface".
Wish me luck!
