I have been flying my Spark around our rural property and I would like to setup way points to fly routes around our property. We have around 160 acres, 60 in bottom land and 100 in trees. Is this OK?

Agree with Rhettduke. . .I have DJI Go 4 for the Spark, DJI Go for my older Phantom 3a and also Litchi. Have NOT used Litchi with the Spark yet but it worked great with my P3a. Also agree with start small. I never just "sent my drone on a mission". . .I plotted the course which was always within LOS (Line Of Sight) uploaded the path to the drone and then flew it manually just to be sure all the points were correct re altitude, focal point, etc. and then let it go on it's own while I was able to just focus on the camera. This was the result of a loop around our house https://photos.app.goo.gl/mdRbHrKtHnpf6Zfy5 Be safe and let us know how it works with your Spark. Personally, I find the Spark a lot more glitchy than my old Phantom. . . FYI this was video from the very first loop around the house so there's a bit of noticeable gimbal tilt here and there ;-)

Hey Jim! Sorry. . just saw your reply. .thanks! I had the Waypoints and the POI (Point of Interest, which, yes, was the house) pre-planned but was "playing" with the vertical pan on the gimbal a bit while it was executing. . my bad! What issues were you having with your P3A? Nice comparison video. . Spark looks like it was having some trouble keeping you in the center. ThanksLooks great! I too, have noticed that my P3A is more stable with Litchi than my Spark. Did you run the gimbal yourself there? Or set a waypoint (the house) and let the P3A aim itself? I've never had much luck with that on the P3A. My Mavic Pro Platinum works great with Litchi, and the Mavic's gimbal/camera follows the waypoint much more smoothly than the Spark. Here is my A/B video:
Set a custom heading or where the camera will look in direction u choose until it gets to next waypoint . I could turn with my p3a when plotting the course . I cannot with spark .Are you talking about it not focusing on the POI's or the ability to set a custom heading for each waypoint.
Gotcha. I'll try mine asap.Set a custom heading or where the camera will look in direction u choose until it gets to next waypoint . I could turn with my p3a when plotting the course . I cannot with spark .
