I like using Litchi waypoints but I've found it to be really buggy. This thread is a bit of a warning to Litchi waypoints users I suppose.
On my Phantom 3, I had a mission where I sent the drone off, waited and waited.. Then finally went searching. I went to where I thought it might have hit a tree and couldn't find it. Finally, just as I was about to give up, I found it. It had landed instead of returned to home as I had programmed it to do. This happened because I had first setup the mission to land, made changes, but the change to RTH (return to home) did not get passed on to the drone come fly time. I rechecked the mission when I got home and ensured it was set to be RTH as I thought.
On my Inspire 1 Pro, I setup a mission and used the "use online elevation" checked when setting it up. I was seting the drone to fly through some hoodoos. Right when I set it off, it looked like it was heading straight for a rock. Way too low in elevation, but I figured.. "naw, it will rise up." IT didn't. And still didn't. So I stopped the mission and when I looked at the footage, it was definitely heading straight for it. Probably 30 meters too low! Other missions I've sent through hoodoos and cliffs the drone wanders dangerously close to obstacles even though I've got it set to go straigh through the middle.
Anyone else had these problems with Litchi waypoints? I've never tried DJI Go (other than for setting up gimbal and sticks,) but I think it also has waypoints? I think I chose Litchi because it offered better distance limits? Can't remember.
