Importing waypoints & adding markers
I'm probably going about this the wrong way, hope someone can steer me in the right direction.
I have several way points created in google earth. When I import them into DL, destinations between them are setup automatically. Figured out I can re-order them in the path I want to fly and add a wait time with photo capture to the achieved of each destination, this seems like what I want. When importing these way points, the altitude is automatically set to 100 AGL which is fine except for the trees between some of the points.
If I had setup a flight path, I could add a marker and adjust the altitude. When importing way points this way, no flight path is created and therefore I cannot create markers.
Can someone suggest how I can go about adjusting the altitude at set points? Is there a way to import the way points and connect them with a flight path?

Maybe not the most efficient way but, I think I figured it out.
You can adjust your altitude within the destination properties. There is an altitude range setting. This setting determines within what altitude range the drone can begin flight to the next destnation. For example; if the current altitude is 100' and the altitude range is set to default of between -15' & 15', the next destination is set to an altitude of 150', the drone will fly horizontally a maximum 15' before it climbs to the altitude of the next destination which in this case is 150. If the altitude range is set to -15' & 150', the drone will begin climbing to 150 immediately while it heads to the destination. If there is something like trees before the next destination, you want to keep the default range of -15' to 15' so that the drone climb immediately and avoids the trees.
This video may help it explain it better.
