i was already a litchi owner. there was a word beta at the bottom of the page. I clicked on it and I got in
Newest Litchi beta supports Waypoints and Orbit for Spark!

It looks like nobody has provided an answer, so I'll give it a try.
1. Create your mission in VLM.
2. Click the Blue [MISSION] button and click [Save}.
3 While you are still in the [MISSION] button area click on [Export as KML 3D path].
note: If you [Export as CSV] the left column of VLM (Activity Log) will show you potential
problems with your mission route.
4. When you click the {Export] button Google Earth will automatically open.
At the bottom of the 'Places" window under 'Temporary Places" will be a line reading,
KML 3D Path - Litchi. Click on the small black pointer to the left of that line.
5. Scroll down to see your path name displayed. Mine in the picture is 'HomeToWare 3D Path'.
6 Click on that path name and it will activate the button that I drew the red circle around in my picture.
7. Click on that circled button and sit back and watch the mission played out in Google Earth.
I flew my first small test mission with Litchi beta this evening. The Spark handled it a lot better than I did. It is difficult to just stand there and hope it does what I hoped I had told it to do. Using beta software is always a bit of a worry, but it worked perfectly. I must have used some inappropriate values for cruising speeds, because I have never seen Sparkle go that fast. This mission was in an old defunct K-Mart parking lot and there were a lot of tall light poles and fixtures that didn't cause any problem because the mission routed it exactly where it was supposed to go. This way-point capability is adding an incredible amount of power to what can be done with the lowly Spark.
AWESOME!
Just a little bit at a time to work your nerves up
I know it won't be much but look forward to the video and post a flight plan if you want.
