[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 72253, member: 1567"] Yes. this is an especially import step if you're flying around uneven terrain. My first mission I planned was to go fly around the property. I exported the mission to a KML file and imported it into Google Earth. While looking at the yellow line (flight path) I noticed it disappeared into the side of the mountain and reappeared on the other side, even though I had checked the box to fly 200 feet above the ground for each waypoint. Well, the rookie mistake was not putting a waypoint on top of the mountain ridge so that the flight path would go over the mountain instead of through it. If I had not checked the mission in Google Earth the drone would have either crashed into the mountainside or I would have to cancel the mission mid flight when I noticed the drone heading straight for the mountainside.
