Missions can be created, loaded, saved, and modified from the Plan View. An overview of
Plan View can be found in public QGC documentation. Click on (+) sign at the toolbar left of
the screen to enter waypoint addition mode. In this mode, users can add waypoints by
tapping or left clicking on the 2D map. A new plan can be created by clicking File -> New ->
Yes when in Plan View.
To modify a waypoint, first click on it. The selected waypoint will turn green. Click and hold
on clicking for a second time to drag the waypoint around the map. Latitude and longitude
values will change automatically.
When the initial waypoint is added, a Planned Home indicator is automatically added. Initial
waypoint will automatically be named as “Takeoff”. Planned Home is where the aircraft will
land if a return to home signal is sent, unless there are rally points. Takeoff location is the
first waypoint the vehicle will move towards as soon as mission mode is entered.
Users can observe mission specific values such as total mission time or total mission distance
from the panel at the top of the screen. Once users are finished modifying a mission the
mission needs to be uploaded to the vehicle. If a vehicle connection is established with the
QGroundControl, a button named “Upload Mission” will be highlighted as soon as user
makes a modification to the mission itself. Click on “Upload Mission” to load the mission file.
Afterwards, go to “Flight View”. Uploaded mission can be executed from the Flight View by
sliding the mission start slider or taking the vehicle into mission mode.
