I made a free Google Earth Flight Planner

seccode · Oct 3, 2020

Hi all,
I created a free Chrome Extension that lets you plan missions in Google Earth, then export them to Litchi.

Check out this side by side of a mission I planned in Google Earth, then flew in real life:

I also made a tutorial video:

You can get the Extension here:

DroneHub Flight Planner

Create drone flight plans from Google Earth

chrome.google.com

Try it out and let me know what you think! This is a Beta version and is under continuous development, so there are many more features that will be added!

Best,
Sam

Sam, very cool. Since this downloads as a .klm or .csv file could it be used by other flight programs that use Google Earth, such as Drone link, etc? Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I think this should work, but I have not used Dronelink, so I do not know what their flight plan schema is. If you send me a sample of a Dronelink mission file I might be able to port this Flight Planner to accommodate their missions. Litchi has a very specific format, so uploading the current CSV file to Dronelink will not work (at least I don't think!)

Thanks,
Sam
