Mavic Pro: fly to a coordinate?

[tictag]

Is there a way to fly to an exact coordinate?

I'm trying to do a very long hyperlapse, maybe 10's of batteries flight time, so I'll need to resume the hyperlapse exactly where the last one (battery) ended.

I think that Litchi can display GPS coordinates as you fly. And record the entire flight.

Sure. Lichti can be used to plan a waypoint mission. One waypoint would be where you take off from (directly above) and the other would be the waypoint (using Latitude and Longitude) of where you wanted to begin the hyperlapse.

Problem is GPS deviation can allow for up to 9 feet of deviation (3 meters). So even though you specifically defined a Latitude and Longitude setting and a height. Depending on the GPS satellites that exact position in 3 D space may be different.

You can see this post where I define a couple of Waypoints using Lichti and Latitude / Longitude. (With Video) Fly between coordinates?

I've never used DJI Go's waypoint feature, but flying to a coordinate with Litchi is its bread and butter. If you put down a waypoint, you see its GPS coordinates, and you can see those change if you grab and move that waypoint.

DJI's GS Pro is a free waypoint mission app, but I have limited experience with it since I found Litchi to be more user friendly.

Drone Harmony (Available free) has a feature where you can change batteries and go back to the last point

The latest version of Litchi IOS has the ability to create a waypoint, then update that value and fly the drone to it. Before this was only available in the Android version.
