Litchi waypoints stops at 500-m relative to takeoff point

I need help from the Litchi community

Mission Hub - Litchi

Litchi's Mission Hub lets you plan waypoint flights and later execute them using the mobile Litchi app.

I am flying a route with 95 waypoints starting at an elevation of appr. 265-m above sea level at Waypoint no. 1 (takeoff location). See attached link. Waypoint no. 95 is at appr. 778-m above sea level. I programed the flight at 251-m above ground level all the way from waypoint 1 to waypoint no. 95.

You will notice that everything appears OK until waypoint no. 65 where the waypoint's icon will shows 2 altitudes, the altitude above ground of 251-m (yellow) and the calculated altitude of 500-m (white) relative to the take off point. Subsequent altitudes (white) relative to the take off point keep showing 500-m although elevation keeps increasing as we move through the waypoints to waypoint no. 95.

Please review and let me know what I need to change and why the altitude relative to takeoff point stops at 500-m. I am concerned that I may fly into ground or a tree as I keep flying the route to the last waypoint as the elevation increases to 778-m above sea level.

Thanks for your ideas and recommendations as always.

I believe the 500M (1620Ft) is hard coded into the DJI firmware. Someone else may need to confirm it but Litchi does not override the hard coded items.

... And those 500m is always relative to the HP, the only way to go around this is to land to reset the HP & height, then take off again & continue. But during this maneuver you most probably will lose RC-AC connection due to going out of line of sight with following failsafe RTH.

Thanks a lot. Great clarifications. I will divide the flight in two and get proper overlap as a go around.
