It's open source and provides the ability to easily +produce "survey" flight paths, which often costs a lot of money to achieve +via other apps and software. + +Unfortunately it does not work with DJI drones. +Some great looking work has been done with https://github.com/diux-dev/rosettadrone +which seems to provide this capacity. +I have not tested it, but looks cool. + +For one reason or another, I decided to just use the flight plan output from +QGroundControl and wrangle it into a shape that DJI GO 4 is happy with. +This way I can use the stock DJI app for now, until I have tested, and am +comfortable that the `rosettadrone` approach is stable for my uses. + +And I get to save masses of time with survey-type waypoints :D + + ## Description Convert QGroundControl survey waypoints to DJI GO 4 waypoints 2.0.
