Linear Flight Planning

"By swiping left or right on the top status bar, the number of passes in a linear mission can be reduced or increased. The minimum number of passes is 1 and the maximum number is 15. These passes are laid out according to the overlap settings just as any other mapping mission."

This "swiping left or right" does not seems to work on IPhone 6S Plus - not on an iPad mini 4.  Does the UAV need to be connected for this to work?  I am trying to plan a mission offline in my office...

I have just verified that it does work on an iPad Mini 4 using the latest version of Map Pilot which is 2.8.2.

Make sure you are swiping on the part of the bar that says "Not Connected" and has the RC, battery and Satellite icons. Swiping on the Options Menu itself will not help.  

You do not need to be connected to the aircraft to use this feature.

Thanks Zane.  Sorry, the prior email did route to my spam folder.  Fixed now.

I have re-tested on my iPad Mini, using v2.8.2 of MME.

I select Linear mission - draw 4 or 5 points on the map, then swipe on the Not Connected bar as advised.  Nothing happens.  I notice that the dots are not connecting when I initially draw them on the screen - like it does with the other Mission modes.

Same behaviour on my iPhone6S+.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Are you selecting Line Mission in the Options Menu?

Have you double tapped to drop the purple dot which denotes the anticipated takeoff location? 

Please post a screenshot of what you are seeing.

Hi Zane,

Hate to say it, but I had not defined the take-off spot (purple dot).

Silly user error!

The linear tool works well now on both iPhone 6 and iPad mini 4.

Thanks for your patience.
