I was trying to export to Google Earth to check a path and view.

The path is an orbit facing the center. On the DroneLink site it looks correct, but when I export to Google Earth it starts correctly and then about 1/4 of the way through the heading switches to always looking North.

Thanks, found the issue. Google earth does not like headings greater than 360 degrees. Will be corrected in the next release.

Sounds good. I assume it will work IRL.

If it works in the mission previewer, yes.
