Allow convert / export onboard missions with no additional waypoints added

Francisco Achaval

Request:
Allow exporting an Onboard DJI Waypoint Mission exactly as created—without inserting intermediate waypoints.
Today I can choose how many intermediate points to add. If 0 (cero) would be an option it would do the trick.

Why:
I often need to fly to specific waypoints with exact coordinates, heading, and camera tilt, and must repeat these flights over multiple days with attributes unchanged.

Problem:
When Dronelink converts the mission to an Onboard Mission (e.g., for hardware incompatible with Virtual Stick like the DJI Mini 4 Pro), it adds intermediate waypoints, making it impossible to identify the original, precise points.

Note:
Congratulations on an excellent app—very well designed and a pleasure to use.

    Also DJI waypoint mission files (.kmz), have a parameter to allow straight line navigation between waypoints (useStraightLine).
    Being able to select that value on Dronelink may also help flying in straight line between waypoints and not as a spline (default for dji)

    Thx a lot!

    The best way to accomplish this right now would be to just plan the onboard waypoint component directly from the start instead of doing a conversion.

    Thx Jim!
    Yes, that is the way to go for my specific use case. You are right!
    I cannot add MAP or ORBIT in onboard waypoint though.

    Thx a lot!
