Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Using GPS coordinates in GCS as the flight plan editor

[David Conger]

Hello,

I have a similar concern. In the past I thought it was possible to use direct GPS coordinates for waypoint locations. I walked my flying site the other day with a GPS and tried to create a flight plan with direct coordinates instead of x,y pairs and found it just didn't work. All WP were on top of each other.

Was it my syntax or is this not supported? I used syntax from older flight plans in SVN. I did this because I can know I want a waypoint at a specific location by walking there with a GPS but do not know the x,y coordinates for that same spot. Apologies if I miss something obvious and x,y can accept GPS coordinates.

Hi.
Can something be done with the GCS flight plan editor in order to
eliminate the annoying habit it has deleting all height="100" statements
for example?
Here is an example:
In my flight plan i have among other those waypoints:

<waypoint height="100.0" name="HOME" x="12.5" y="6.6"/>
<waypoint alt="100" name="START" x="138.3" y="126.8"/>
<waypoint name="RELEASE" x="86.1" y="18.8"/>

After editing it with the GCS editor and subsequently saving it, i get:

<waypoint name="HOME" x="12.5" y="6.6"/>
<waypoint alt="100" name="START" x="138.3" y="126.8"/>
<waypoint name="RELEASE" x="86.1" y="18.8"/>

Notice that the alt="100" is still there only the height="100.0" is MIA
It is not that important but it can lead to serious problems if you edit
the flight plan in a hurry and forget to correct it afterwards.
