FLYING SKYDIO X2 / FLIGHT SKILLS
Waypoints
The Waypoints skill allows you to design and execute multi-waypoint GPS missions. Skydio X2 uses
AI-enabled path planning algorithms to avoid obstacles.
NOTE: Waypoints are created using GPS coordinates. Skydio X2 must have a good GPS signal prior to executing a waypoint
mission.
To set up a mission, select Waypoints from the skills menu,
then tap on the map view. Long press on the map and select
Add Waypoint to set the first waypoint.
The drone’s current pose settings will automatically be
applied to the first waypoint. To customize these settings, tap
on the newly created waypoint and set the drone’s altitude,
heading and gimbal angle for that waypoint as desired.
Long press on the map again to set your second waypoint.
Your drone’s pose settings will match those of the previous
waypoint, however you can always tap on the waypoint to
adjust the settings as needed.
Continue adding waypoints until your mission path is complete.
NOTE: Missions can support up to 256 waypoints. Waypoints that are added while a mission is in progress will be included in the
current mission. If a waypoint is added after a mission completes, the flight will restart before including the newly added waypoint.
