DJI Dummy UUID

Paste your permanent DJI Fly dummy mission's UUID here once. Every export (KMZ/CSV/KML/GeoJSON) is named <UUID>.<ext> so the KMZ overwrites the dummy in wayline_mission/<UUID>/.

Sets camera specs, battery estimate and the DJI export drone/payload IDs.

Used for GSD/spacing math only — not written to the KMZ. Match this manually in DJI Fly's camera settings before flying, and leave digital zoom at 1× — every footprint, spacing and GSD figure here assumes it. No effect on video capture.

Line Overrun stations per end

Ground at the site edge is seen by far fewer photos than the interior, which is what makes an ortho go soft at the boundary. 2 stations restores full overlap out to the edge and moves the turns off your survey area. Costs flight time — nothing else changes.

Tip: 0 → 100 flies the whole line. Set Start 25 / End 75 to fly just the middle half. Reverse flips direction.

Camera Facing

Toward POI: every camera yaws to a fixed ground point for the whole flight (DJI towardPOI), instead of following the direction of travel. Use Place POI below to set it; gimbal pitch stays on the slider.

Extend Path

Tip: tap Extend Start, then tap the map to drop new vertices before the current start — recording begins at the first new point and continues through the original path.

Tap the "Upload KML/KMZ" button in the toolbar. KML LineString loads as a path; DJI WPML KMZ imports the full mission for editing.

Mission Settings

When mission completes

If RC signal is lost

Tip: "Continue" keeps flying the planned waypoints — the RC just isn't needed for the rest of the mission. The other options stop the mission and hand control back to the drone's failsafe.

Export Mission

DJI Fly Sideload Workflow

Export the DJI KMZ file using the button above.

Transfer the .kmz to your phone via AirDrop, Google Drive, or USB.

Open DJI Fly → Missions → Import → select the .kmz file.

Review the mission on-device, connect your drone, and Start Mission.

Note: Waypoint missions require DJI Fly 1.9+ and firmware v01.00.0500+.
