senseFly swinglet User Manual page 91

flights required this button becomes a drop-down list, and you can upload each
flight individually.
Caution: Clicking 'Upload' will directly modify the waypoints re-
quired for the flight plan in the swinglet CAM. If the drone is flying
towards or around one of these waypoints, its navigation will be af-
fected to reflect the new waypoint parameters.
Clicking the 'More' button reveals several more options:
• Load mission area...: Click to load a previously-saved mission area and
parameters from an Auto Flight Planner (.afp) file.
• Save mission area...: Click to save the current mission area and parame-
ters to an Auto Flight Planner (.afp) file. This can be useful for example to
map the same area with different image and mission parameters, or to save
and restore a large mapping mission that requires multiple flights. Note
that this saves only the mission area shape and location along with the as-
sociated mission and image parameters, not the actual list of waypoints
that is then generated or the camera payload model used to calculate the
mission plan.
• Load last used mission area: Clicking will load the last mission area that
was successfully uploaded to a swinglet CAM autopilot, whether it was a
real or simulated one. This option is useful when you want to repeat your
last mission and did not explicitly use the 'Save mission area... ' button.
• Load mission area from KML file: Use this option to load a polygonal mis-
sion area directly from a KML file (produced in Google Earth
• Load mission area from map object: Use this option to load a polygonal
mission area from a previously-imported map object (see section 'Toolbar'
on page 71).
• Reset mission area: Clicking will reset the mission area to the default rect-
angular size and reposition it in the centre of the Map Area. It will also reset
eMotion in-depth guide
TM
for example).
