Offline Edit/Create Flight Plan and Offline basemap ?

terranusa

Excuse us, we had a question, so we had a problem with our dronelink app, we thought it will be okay if we can fly offline and can edit or create flight plan while offline, because our job is at forestry and we barely can't predict the situation on the fields, so is there anything we can do to edit or create flight plan offline on the fields ?

we'd love to see your response as soon as possible

    You can create a plan on your PC, and then while you've still got an internet connection download it to the device you are going to use to fly it for offline use

    If you want to create while offline, the only option is on-the-fly: https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500007215742-Getting-Started-App-Intro-and-Running-a-On-the-Fly-Waypoints-Path-and-Follow-Mission

    Editing offline is not supported.

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem. 

    I fly my drone offline, out in the forest.

    The only way I found to fly an unplanned grid mission is with the "on the fly" feature of dronelink

    It's very inconvenient having to fly the four corners of a square grid mission before launching it. This also leaves the drone hovering while setting up all other mission parameters before launching it. It uses precious battery life.

    Some improvements are needed here, not everyone uses dronelink within reach of cell coverage.

    For example, if a new "on the fly" mode allowed the manual input of the dimensions of a square grid, and also allowed to rotate and drag that square where we need it, it would be very useful to a lot of users.

    many thanks
