Map Pilot can only load 100 waypoints into the aircraft at a time. After it flies those waypoints it will come back and get the rest of them and continue on.

This is noted in a warning message at the time the waypoints are uploaded...

No. That is the number of points it will take to process the collected images on Maps Made Easy.

When you bring up the Terrain Plot it will be shown at the top of that and is labeled "Waypoints".

Make sure that all of your firmwares are up to date and all other drone related apps are closed. 

The terrain awareness feature requires quite a bit of CPU and some older devices may have issues. Please try it on another device is possible.

Zane, I would like to ask what is the procedure for getting the rest waypoints. Should the drone come back, land and then take off again? or is it possible getting the rest waypoints without landing? In my last mission I had more than 100 waypoints and the drone came back and I landed it, changed the battery and continue the mission. This method though is not the best If I need to squeeze 20minutes from every battery. Please comment on the best procedure. Thanks!

The aircraft can only load 100 waypoints at a time. The good news is, there are very few circumstances when you will have enough battery to fly all 100 so the aircraft will have to come home for a fresh battery and another 100 waypoints. 

If you are trying to get the most out of each battery you need to set the battery timer to 'battery limited' which will allow the aircraft to fly until the battery is almost dead and not be sent home by an expiring timer.

Hi,

In my case, the remained battery power was 40-50% after finishing 100 waypoints. It wasted a lot of time and battery power to upload just only 100 waypoints for each mission. Is there any way to increase the number of waypoints for maximizing the usage of battery power? Thank.
