ADDITIONAL INFO! - Hi all, Thanks to some wonderful people in the community I can now share with you some extra information. You CAN plan a waypoint mission without having the drone powered on. Here are the steps;
1 - Power on the radio
2 - Click on connection guide
3 - Click on Camera view (Top right hand corner)
Here you can then click on the map and waypoints button and plan a mission without having the drone powered on.
Safe flying 😀
When you download the map of the flight area into the controler, you can even do planing it without the drone turned on and without internet connection at the place of the flight.
@@ExHanseat May i pls ask one more question, sorry:
how to clean drone's internal storage for mini pro 4. I get a warning and don't see any significant files when I connect using the cable to the Mac. Are there hidden files or something? Many thanks
Another excellent video, and i love your detailed yet easy to understand approach. A couple of points which you didn't address: (1) the drone plans the mission using bezier curves. If you have some tight turns between your waypoints, the drone can actually "swing out" quite a bit, engaging obstacle avoidance. (2) If you are planning a mission including video and photos (i e. For a real estate shoot) , you need to have 3 different waypoints for each l photo : stop camera, take photo, start camera.
Hey! Thanks for the additional info! Yes, I did see the drone swings out to make the turn smoother, I hadn't thought to describe it as a better curve, but it makes sense. Thanks for your kind words and for also helping the community with your knowledge 😃
Another great informative video.. Only just come across your channel yesterday and it's probably one of the best and easiest to understand and follow.. 👍
Thank you Adam! I'm glad you came across the channel and you're finding the content easy to follow! I just want to help everyone have a smoother experience with their drones! Thanks for the nice comment and being part of the community! Have a nice weekend🤙
Truly the ultimate waypoints tutorial! Very detailed and complete. Thanks
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful and comprehensive 😃
I haven't tried waypoints yet but do want to give it a go, and your video has explained it very well. Thanks for the ultra clear explanations, I'm sure I'll come back to this video in future when doing some waypoint planning.
That's great to hear. I'm glad you found the video easy to understand, I wish you all the best with using waypoints! 😃 Welcome to the community!
Wow, there is a lot of information in this video. I will have to rewatch several or many times. Great job with your examples and giving us visual descriptions along with your gentle audio. Great job. Now, that winter comment...stick to the warm :) Thank you.
Yeah, I took a lot of time to really get to know the ins and outs of waypoints so I could deliver the most comprehensive guide I could. Lots of info to take in but it's all there 😃 thanks again for the kind words and good feedback 😃
Thanks Justin. You cleared up some things for me regarding Waypoints.
You're very welcome! Happy to have been able to help! 😃
A great video for one to understand waypoints with details. Thanks man.
Thanks man, you're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful! 😃
Danke für die ausführliche Darstellung. Da kann man wirklich was lernen.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you were able to learn from it 😃
AMAZING BROTHER HAPPY FLYING EVERYONE👍👍👍
Thanks brother! Happy flying 😃
To get around the negative altitude, maybe you could designate a landing zone on the hike up. Leave behind a landing pad in an accessible open area at the low altitude. Maybe weigh it down so it doesn't blow away.
Assuming you don't hike out of range, you could take off from the peak and head for your LZ. Land at the LZ and then take off again. This involves a lot of bravado and redundancy of course. But it would be interesting to try.
Very lucid and thorough. Many thanks. Seems like DJI could add some software changes for Waypoint plannng for negative POI's.
Thank you for some great info about DJI mini pro 4. I watched many of your informative videos. When I create an off-site way point mission I save battery power by turning on the drone only until I have the map on screen of the remote. You can then turn off the drone to save the battery and continue creating the waypoint mission. Cheers.
That's excellent information, I wasn't aware of this! That'll make things a bit easier to plan without the drone overheating. Thanks for that input 😃
You don't need to power on drone.
Turn on controller then go to connection guide, then minin4 pro, click the "view camera screen" on top right and it will take you there. Without powering on the drone at all ☺️
Hope this helps!
Wonderful job describing this powerful feature of the Mini 4. As the weather improves I plan to go out and do a couple of missions, both pre-planned as well as on-site, using your guidelines. Thanks mate, cheers from Vancouver BC🇨🇦👍🏼😄
Thanks mate! I'm glad you found it useful! All the best for your missions!
Hi Justin, I just found your channel and I would like to say you are an excellent communicator. There is one channel, belonging to someone across the pond, who has an annoyingly high pitched, frenetic, seemingly drug fuelled, screech. I had to stop watching him after two to three minutes. His accent, was so annoying and combined with a delivery like a Gatling gun..no pauses just a constant stream of words. I posted a comment to ask him to slow down, and he replied telling me to turn the playback speed down! He has tens of thousands of subscribers too! You are a breath of fresh air. I hate to be unkind, but there are too many highly excitable, Americans running what are meant to be popular channels…….I guess it’s what you’re used to. Keep up the great works and thank you for making the video. I have subscribed!
Hi! Wow, thank you very much! I do try to structure my videos to make all the information easy to understand, and I just try to deliver the information in a way that's friendly and relatable. I guess I don't know wny other way to do it haha. I'm glad you came across the channel and have found the videos useful! There is going to be much more to come in the future so thank you for subscribing and welcome to the community! 😃
what a well presented and informative video a credit to you for taking the time to put this video together that as improve my flying and use of the DJI MINI 4 PRO. thank you Justin, Please keep up the great work.
You're welcome Paul! I'm glad you were able to get something out of the video. I'm always happy to help! 😃
Excellent tutorial, learnt a lot, thank you so much!
Thank you! You're very welcome 😃
Great tutorial, very informative and easy to understand. I learned a lot with just watching a few of your videos.
I just got my mini 4 pro last month and still learning the new features which I did not have in my mini 2. I will practice your tips and hopefully I can get better, smoother video footages to upload in my channel. I am a fan and your new subscriber!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful and have also found value in my other videos. That's what they're there for! Ah, very exciting. Yes, the Mini 2 is a great drone, but the Mini 4 Pro is definitely a big step up in features! Wish you all the best in learning the new machine, and I hope to see some footage in the future! 😃
Very helpful video - my first try, I was having issues adding more waypoints..also issues adding the POI...I am sure I just have to get better.
Also, it is helpful to download offline maps
Good tutorial
Great video, very useful and I learnt stuff! Bravo
Thank you! I'm glad you were able to learn from this video 🙂
Thanks man! I've been looking for this!.. :)
No problem man! Happy to help! 😃
Outstanding as always!
Thank you Mark!

Thanks Daniel! I'm glad you found it useful! 😃
Thank you Justin, excellent informative piece....
Thank you! Glad you found it useful! 😃
Great tutorial, thnx
Thank you! You're welcome! 😃
Great video, very clearly explained, many thanks!!!
Thank you! You're very welcome 😀
This is a great video! The mini 4 pro is vastly superior to my existing spark. I love the battery life and all the capabilities that go along with it.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you! Yes the Mini 4 Pro is a massive leap up from the spark. The battery life is phenomenal for such a small drone. I love it, the best sub 25og drone we have ever seen that's for sure! 😃
Excellent tutorial on waypoints mate..
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Thanks mate I learned a few more things.👍👍👍
No problem mate! Happy to help! 😃
Well done Justin, you did it again! As usual we get information that we do not find on other tutorials.
All the questions I had were answered and then you brought to my attention some things I was not even aware of regarding waypoint missions. You go into so much details, it shows that you have done a LOT of homework and testing on your own before summarizing everything neatly for us.
I had no idea that when using manual or custom for heading/tilt, the section of the mission that those applied to were not the same as for the default settings. I did a double-take when you said that and had to rewind the video to make sure I understood that as it seemed a bit weird. But yeah, sure enough, you found another DJI quirk.
You also make some great points about negative altitudes. As a beginner, I had other troubles related to negative altitudes when trying to track friends snowboarding down a mountain. The M4P basically lost track of them very quickly because they were going downhill (I was at the top along with my Home Point). This could be the subject of another interesting video although it looks like you lack ski hills were you live 🙂(maybe downhill MTB tracks)! In the end, I had to take manual control to try to follow them best I could as they were snowboarding downhill (and into negative altitude territory!). It seems DJI developers are flat-landers and never had mountains in mind when they built their drones. Maybe this will change over time.
The altitude limit versus the Home Point also does not also take into account the fact that you may be following the contour of a mountain uphill and break the altitude limit set in the drone while still being within the legally set altitude limit of your country of residence. A lot of details and quirky things that have been mentioned to DJI on their forums. It will be interesting to see how they respond to all the user comments over time.
Anyway, thanks again for this great video and I hope your voice recovers soon!
Thank you very much! That really does mean a lot. I just want to make sure that I can give the best tutorial for whatever it is I'm talking about so I feel it necessary to fully explore and understand a features good, bad, and quirky points. A lot of research goes into making this happen. I don't see the point in just repackaging others' information. I'd rather find out myself and then give my own information. Yeah, negative altitudes is a strange one. I never thought about it also causing issues with tracking, but I can see how it would. Maybe I can test that in the near future haha. Thanks again for the kind words, support and being part of this community! 😀 🤙
Love your videos! Although I am disappointed you are not choking on flys in this go, as that was great comedic relief! 😁 Cheers from Texas!
😂 yeah haha they definitely added something that's for sure, I'm glad I'm not being kamikazed during filming though 😂
Absolutely perfect, thanks very much for such a great tutorial, hopefully you are fully recovered now👍
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful 😄 Yep I'm almost back to 100% now. Thanks for asking 😃
Beaut video Justin, well done mate. Typing this as I load up my Mini 4 Pro with waypoints for tomorrow’s flight. 😅
Thanks Wayne! Haha nice work. Hopefully, it all goes smoothly for you! 😃
Hope your feeling better by now. Very informative video.
Hey! Yes, I'm feeling much better now. Thanks for the kind comment and well wishes. 😀
Thanks
You're welcome! 😃
Justin it’s Dave Australia here. Thanks very much for this video.
Hi Dave! No problem, I'm glad it was of use to you! 😄
Thanks for the video 🙂 what I've learned yesterday is that it hard to do a waypoint on the screen because of it's size.
No problem! Yeah it can be difficult to plan a small mission on the screen. But larger distance missions aren't too bad 😃
@@JustinBainbridgeYT true this 🙂
Hi Justin, great video, very exhaustive!!! Thank you! Do you set AE Exposure lock for missions, given that the drone will be turning around in relation to the sun?
Hey! If the mission was as you described, then auto exposure definitely makes sense like I had to do in this video. Manual exposure would be hard to set for all directions. In this case, there would be too much of a compromise.
Thanks for the video. You can make way points without the drone turned on if you want to preplan them. Save having the drone sitting overheating while you do it.
Yes, that's how I do it also. Well, still a good walkthrough.
That's good the hear! I did think it would make more sense, but I couldn't find where to start planning a mission with the drone turned off. Where do I find waypoints with the drone off?
@@JustinBainbridgeYTwith WiFi connected at home we can zoom in to any location in the world on the Fly app then tap on the screen for the first waypoint. The rest is as per your guidelines😄
Great video as usual @Justin! I may have missed it in the video, but if you have an active (in-flight) waypoint mission and want to cancel it and return to normal manual control ... how do you do this? I see a pause button on your screen whilst you're in flight in the video, but no cancel/stop button.
You hit the nail in the head. Hit the pause button, you can then cancel the mission or continue the mission 😃
This really helped me as a starting drone pilot! Thanks a lot, one question, do you have the extended battery? Because you have so much fly time, I never get the full 30+ flytime
Hey! I'm glad the video helped you out! Yes I have the extended battery. It was soemthing I needed because I knew I would need a lot of flight time whilst filming these types of videos. When i'm just out getting some shots I rarely end up using 2 batteries. But when recording these videos I can burn through all 3 no problem.
This is so much more detailed than every other waypoint video I've seen thanks for this. Do you know if there is any way to edit a waypoint. Let's say you wanted to change waypoint 4 can you fly back to a similar position and overwrite that waypoint with new settings or do you have to start over from the beginning?
Hey! I'm glad you found the video useful, You can edit a waypoint using the standard menu features. To edit waypoint 4 you can just select waypoint 4 and then change the values in the menu and drag it on the screen to a new location. Unfortunately you can't fly to a location you want to change the waypoint to and overwrite it. You would have to delete all waypoints ahead of this one including the one you're at, and then create a new one in the new position. Hope this helps 😃
Good to know thanks.
Awesome overview Justin! I'm still waiting for the price to drop before I buy the MP4. I do have the MP3 and it's a shame DJI won't update it to do waypoints like the MP4. I just have one question, can you set a POI at a waypoint and have it do a circle around it at different distances using the inner and outer rings and also changing the altitude as it circles? That would be so cool if it can be done. New subscriber and a Gigantic LIKE for this one.
Hey! What you're describing with the POI is like a combination of Waypoints and The POI feature from the tracking section. These are 2 different flying modes so unfortunately you wont be able to combine them. ou can get a similar effect be plotting waypoints around the POI and having some closer and further away, and then just adjust the altitude for each one. A better way of doing it would be to plan a waypoint mission up to the POI. then swap from Waypoints to POI (Tracking Mode) and do your orbits. then continue with more waypoints of normal flying. Hope this helps!
I've successfully executed my first waypoint mission this morning - so the tutorials are working @JB! :) It's pretty bright in Syd at the moment and I've noticed some of my videos are over-exposed (so far I'm only shooting on Auto mode). You've mentioned post-production on a couple of the tutorials ... do you get more into this anywhere else and what do you recommend for it software-wise?
Thats great to hear! Glad you had a successful waypoint mission! that's okay, you can still adjust the exposure in auto mode, I talk about it in this video here - th-cam.com/video/n-yQRAfSLME/w-d-xo.html
Around 2:30 I discuss adjusting the exposure in auto.
I will get more into post production in a future video. But I haven't shown my editing workflow as of yet. I use Adobe premiere pro which I reccommend if you're willing to pay the subscription. If not some good free options are Adobe Rush, Davinci Resolve and Capcut. These are all capable of putting nice drone edits together and doing colour grading and adding music/sounds.
Thanks Justin … 👍
Hi , great video - will be giving it a go. One question, if I have a saved waypoint mission and then on another occasion try to re run that mission but my take off is from a different height ie lower down a hill, will that mess up all the previous relative altitude positions - must I always have to take off from the same location / height ?
Hi! Thank you! You're exactly right. If you take off from a different altitude it will mess up all the heights because they are all relative from the take off point at the time you go to fly the mission. I always reccomend launching from exactly the same spot to get the most accurate repeatability with the waypoint mission.
Hi Justin, great video, thank you very much.
I am in Samui as well, would be nice to meet !
Hey! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Unfortuntely I have now left Samui and I'm in Bali now, but let me know if you're heading this way 🤙
Oh OK, enjoy ! I am living in Samui. Drop me a line if you come back !
Hey … I bought a Dji 4 mini pro last week and I already watched most of your videos. I am from Denmark but you are very understandable. Great videos. I am wondering if you can plan waypoint routes on your IPad and transfer it to the controller?
Hey! Thats amazing, I'm glad you got the Mini 4 Pro it's the perfect choice! That's also really good to hear, I'm glad you're finding the videos easy to understand and you've watched enough to hopefully get a good grasp of the drone and how to get the most out of it! I'm not sure if this will work but i would try opening the fly app, clicking on connection guide, then click on camera view in the top right hand corner. If they waypoint symbol is there on the left then you should be able to do this. If it's not there then I guess it's not possible.
Greetings, Justin. Is it possible to take a photo during a Waypoint mission if you are already recording during the mission? I have tried to work this out to no avail. The recording always stops. Would you please explain the sequence for performing such a task? Thank you !!
Thanks for the great explanation, helped a lot! Do you need start at one point, or does he fly to the waypoint itself?
You're welcome! Nope, it will fly to the starting point on its own and begin the mission once it reaches the first waypoint
@@JustinBainbridgeYT How precise are those waypoints, suppose I want to fly the same route multiple times within a year. Is there much variation between them?
They are extremely precise. The GPS data used for waypoints gives us a very accurate, repeatable route. The only thing to remember is to launch from the same place each time so that the 0 altitude remains consistent for the best results. 😃
would it work similarly with an Air 3? Wondering which one to buy
Yep works pretty much identically with the Air 3, You have a few extra controls on the Air 3 as it's got 2 camera's but the general operation is the same.
If you go back there and redo that same waypoint, it will make exactly the same movements, including the guimbble ones?
Yep, exactly the same flight will be flown
Hi Justin...great video...I have 2 questions that I hope you can answer.....one is: can you change the camera zoom for a waypoint flight from 1? The second question is: if I set up a flight with 10 waypoints, and I start recording at WP1 and I want to take a photo from let's use WP5 for example....will the camera resume recording video after taking a picture?....or do I have to set up another waypoint adjacent to WP5...which would become WP6 and "start recording" to continue recording the flight?
Hello, Yes, you can change the zoom from 1 up to 4x. I personally don't recommend it because you can just zoom in post, but you're welcome to use the zoom if you wish. And yep, you got it. You will need to have a waypoint afterwards that starts recording again. I find it less hassle to just set the drone to hover for a few seconds where I want a picture, then I just take a screenshot afterwarfs to make it easier. But see what works best for you! 😃
Can you move waypoint order? For example. That missed shot of the house. Can you refly in manual mode and add that waypoint you 'missed'.
Hey, unfortunately not to my knowledge. You have to delete all waypoints until the gap you wish to add one, then add the last waypoints again
Justin, something I don't understand about planning a waypoint mission at home.. I have a saved an offline map for use in a remote location where there is no WiFi or cellular. Can I use this downloaded map to plan a waypoint mission at home? I can't see how.
Alternatively, if I plan and save the mission on a live online map at home, does that save the map as well as the mission waypoints etc?
Hi, if you have a downloaded map then when you arrive at your location, you should turn the radio and drone on so it can get it's GPS location. This should bring up the map area that you are in, and I would guess you could plan a mission from that as you would be able to now see the downloaded map area. A good test would be to try access the downloaded map at home whilst not connected to the Internet, open the maps and move to the location you have downloaded manually. That'll let you know if you can plan the Mission. I can't see why not though. I think thay waypoints use GPS coordinates so it shouldn't matter if you can see the actual map or not on location. The Mission should still be saved and able to be flown.
@@JustinBainbridgeYT OK, I'll try those suggestions. Thanks for the fast response Justin.
Hi Justin. Thanks for the great explanation. A question about this... Is it also possible to set Wapoints "on top of each other"? Example: I start at Waypoint A at 10m, fly to Waypoint B at 10m. Waypoint C should be identical in position to B - but the height should increase to 20m. According to the scenario, there should be a vertical climb of 10m at the original Waypoint B. Greetz from Germany
Hey! Yep this is possible. This will be easier to plot when actually flying the mission as it can be difficult to select waypoints when they are very close together on the touchscreen. But you can place one somewhere else then just drag it into location above the other one 😃
@@JustinBainbridgeYT Soooo easy?!? 🙈 Thank you very much.
I always fly the route and set waypoints as I fly. I don’t do it before because I don’t know what the altitude for each needs to be. I don’t know how high trees etc are before I get there and fly to an altitude above them.
Very valid point. If it's completely unfamiliar territory, then you might be better off doing it this way. Thanks for watching and for your input 😃
Hello, I have a question!
The altitude slider when trying to change altitude is way too specific, meaning I can’t get the altitude I need, is there any way to fix this?
Hey, sorry, I don't really understand. You say it's too specific, but you can't get the right altitude? Do you mean not specific enough, and you need 0.1m accuracy? You can't change the scale on the altitude slider unfortunately. If you need highly precise altitude, you will need to fly the mission manually and record altitude that way. It'll go to 0.1m accuracy if flown manually, rather than 1m accuracy if planned beforehand.
if you are video recording and the next waypoint is take a picture, will recording resume after the picture is taken, pls?
Hey! I haven't tested this so i'm not sure, I would guess that the recording would continue after taking the picture. I will test this and get back to you if you havent already tried it by then 😃
Can you do waypoints on the other remote? The RCN2
Unfortunately, I don't have access to an RCN2 controller. The process is mostly the same as you'll see the same things displayed on your phone screen. The only thing is you'll probably have to just tap the plus on the screen to add a new waypoint because of the lack of rear buttons. 😃
@@JustinBainbridgeYT just confirm it does work on the other controller. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I’m excited for waypoint.
@dennisx4492 Ah okay. Yes, it works on the other controller!
can you plan the mission off a computer at home / off site.
Hey John! I don't think you can. I'm pretty sure the only way is through the Dji fly app or using the RC2 radio 😃
@@JustinBainbridgeYT thanks
Is this somekind of reupload since I watched this times ago and now its here again like uploaded 1month ago..
Hi, no, this is the original video from a month ago 😃 maybe TH-cam just recommending it again which is strange
Can you delete an old mission ?
Yep, to delete an old mission, open the list of missions, swipe to the left on the mission you want to delete, then click the delete symbol on the right 😃
Hasn't anyone figured out yet how to add a new waypoint before/between existing waypoints? Just like with Mavic 2.
I don't think it is possible with this version of waypoints. I did try a few things to do this, and I couldn't find a way. Maybe someone else has found a way?
The waypoints not being at negative altitude seems pointless especially with all the sensors the drone has, it can tell if it is going to hit the ground.
Also most online maps can tell you the altitude of the ground, which would be very useful for waypoints as you could reference the height off of the ground height (say have the waypoint mission always keep the drone 30 m above the ground) but DJI obviously hasn’t implemented this.
In general referencing the height off of the ground would be very useful, particularly in Europe where DJI drones are limited to 120 m from its take off altitude (as in the drone will not physically go above 120 m from the take off altitude), it could use the GPS and a downloaded map to tell the height above the ground then you could change the limit from 120 m above take off to 120 m above the ground which is what the law actually dictates. It would also be useful for law compliance outside of Europe since most countries define the max height as a height above the ground or distance to the closest point on the Earths surface. This pretty much makes the altitude given by the drone pretty useless unless you know the relative altitude of the ground under the drone.
Say you are on a hill, you fly the drone up to 120 m and then fly horizontally in the direction of down the hill. The drone will keep telling you it’s altitude is 120 m although its actual altitude above the ground is higher, having the drone reference its height off of the actual ground height or closest point on the Earth’s surface would make compliance much easier and could be accomplished easily if the drone or controller already has a map. The drone can send its coordinates back to the controller, then the controller can figure out how high above the ground it is using the maps data (since most digital maps contain altitude date) and then send back to the drone it’s height above the ground.
They already have pretty advanced map functionality (waypoints, satellite view, etc) so they could probably pretty easily just access the maps altitude data too.
I don’t know why DJI hasn’t already implemented this but it is an obvious thing that would just make the drones better.
Very interesting points. I do agree with all the sensors this drone has it should be able to achieve a negative altitude. Also, with maps including elevation data, maybe in the future, DJI could roll out a more capable version, taking advantage of this data. The AGL altitude conundrum is an annoying one. 120m above take off just doesn't work very well in the hills. I think with all the light that has come to this recently that hopefully future machines will be able to make more calculated AGL altitude readings and save people alot of heartache in the hills. Thanks for your input! 😃
DJI Mini 5 upgrade? When available?
i hate that you ave yo have the drone on to use the function on the controller, every time I do it over heats don't the ground before I finish and I need to turn it off.
there must be a better way. also can you set a template like height action rocket, but its not bound to location so you can move to location after location and use the same action template to run the same mission
I've heard that you can turn the drone off after you open waypoints and load the map. Then, you can continue to create the mission without the drone on. I haven't tried it yet, but someone just commented that they do this 😃
You don't even need to have the drone on. Just turn on the controller, tap 'connection guide', then 'camera view' in the upper right corner. Takes you to the map, including waypoint planning. @@JustinBainbridgeYT
You don't even need to have the drone on at all. Just turn on the controller, tap 'connection guide', then 'camera view' in the upper right corner. Takes you to the map, including waypoint planning. At least for me.
@@John-ex5vc That's amazing! Thanks for this knowledge, I'll add this info to a pinned comment to help other people out. Thanks again 😃
Bro. Great job on your instructions. I will continue to use this to improve my technique on flying my Mini 4 Pro.
I am grateful you posted this and looking forward for more future lessons. Have a great day. 😃👍🏾
I am a dedicated DJI customer, but.............
There waypoint implementation ... like alot of their implmentations is half-baked... ok, but not great.
If they want to really make stellar functionality on this... they should partner with the two 3rd party makers of waypoint software for DJI.
They don't have to. They could just enable what they already have on offer for enterprise customers flying Enterprise class dji drones. But as consumer customers, we don't get that.
What’s whilst!? 😂
I'm confused? It's just a word haha. You can google the definition if you need to know more 😂
@@JustinBainbridgeYT I’m kidding with ya lol
@@echopiece79 😂😂
I think waypoints are not for me though, "Id have had this beautiful tech for 4 months now.. but still have not touching these features
Yeah to be honest I don't really use waypoints either. The things that it's good at are things that I rarely need to do. I find other features are more suited to my flying
Had to turn off why would anybody mix some stupid annoying music when you’re trying to listen. Incredible
Touchy.. lighten up the music is OK, and he is very clear and easy on the ear...
