Hi,
I have a mission in two weeks over some steep terrain and terrain awareness is failing because the area is likely over a void in the SRTM dataset. The area is located at 54°28'51.02"N / 127°55'33.60"W.
Is there a way to edit the Flights.plist file to enter the elevation manually and then save it back into the App? I can transfer the file to my desktop and view the content but see that elevation values in the array tags are not actually elevation values?
Or is there a way to import and use an existing LiDAR DEM dataset I have?
Thanks for the help!
There is not a way to do that since the flights.plist file just has the mission parameters and not the waypoints.
We have added all of Norway thanks to the contributions of knowledgable users that gave us a compatible data set.
We may offer a MME DEM import in the future.

Thank you for the quick response. Is it possible to confirm that the area is indeed failing due to a void? The location is within the bounds of the STRM data (60° north and 56° south latitude).
A MME DEM import function for a future release would be great! Many other apps are considering this functionality as well.
Thanks.
Hi Zane,
Similar a previous post (https://support.dronesmadeeasy.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/251218523/comments/115000292226).
Would MME be willing to patch the missing terrain awareness data with the DEM data we have? The area is relatively small and I can provide the data in the format that is required.
Thanks.
Starting with Android version 1.4.0 and iOS version 5.5.0, Map Pilot Pro's Terrain Awareness feature will have options for ASTER, Copernicus, SRTM and any other datasets we can add as built-in Terrain Awareness Data Sources. Copernicus is 30 meter data and is essentially global at 89 to -89 degree coverage (everything but the poles). US users now have access to 10m data from 3DEP/NED.
Having multiple independent terrain data source choice makes it so you have options if one data source has missing data in your operating location.
We recommend using Copernicus for most work.
