Misplaced red markers can only be deleted outside of 'draw Polygon' mode by left clicking
on a marker then right clicking on the way point to be removed and selecting 'Delete WP'.
Misplaced red markers may also be moved to a refined position.

Importing a Shape File

To import a shape file (*.shp) to define the area of interest right click in the map region and
select 'Draw Polygon' → 'From SHP'. This will open a standard windows load file sub-
window. Use this window to navigate and select the shape file. The shape file will appear as
a red outlined box with red markers at the vertices.

Creating a Survey Grid

Once you are satisfied that you have covered the area of the project with a polygon, right
click on the map and select 'Auto WP' → 'Survey (Grid)'. This will open a subwindow and
automatically generate flight lines based on options listed in 'Simple' and 'Grid Options'.
Waypoints will be indicated by green markers with black numbering. Flight lines are drawn
in yellow between waypoints with direction of travel indicated mid-flight line by arrow. In
this sub-window the polygon may be amended by dragging the red markers using a left click
and drag. The flight lines automatically adjust to the new polygon.

Simple Options Tab

The 'Simple' tab contains some basic flight settings:
● Camera: Allows you to select the camera from a drop-down menu. If a change is
made the user must adjust a value to see the flight lines are redrawn with the
correct data.
● Altitude (m): Sets the flying height above the ground. It is to be noted that this is
not above sea-level – unless specified set up for above sea level by manufacturer.
● Angle [deg]: Sets the direction of the flight lines.
