DronePoint — DJI KMZ Mission Planner App

Mission type

Draw a polyline on the map — each vertex becomes a waypoint.

Height (m) Speed (m/s)

Flight altitude
Height above the takeoff point in metres. Legal limits vary by country (typically 120 m). For mapping, 50–120 m gives good GSD. Lower = sharper photos but more waypoints.

Flight speed
Speed between waypoints in m/s. Slower = sharper photos (less motion blur), more battery used. 3–5 m/s is typical for mapping. Max varies by drone model.

Drone / camera Camera lens Write the lens into the mission file (experimental) Off by default. When off, set the lens by hand in DJI Fly before flying — the file only carries the spacing the lens implies, not the lens itself. Image format Capture resolution

Standard is what the camera shoots unless you change it, and it sustains a faster shutter. Full resolution halves the GSD but writes much larger files and needs more time between shots.

Interval shooting fewer waypoints

Draw a polygon. Spacing controls where photos are taken.

Interval shooting fewer waypoints

Draw a polygon. Spacing is calculated from overlap % and your camera. Interval shooting puts waypoints only at the ends of each line and lets the camera fire by distance in between — the same photos, far fewer waypoints.

Track point of interest Pro

Point of interest
Set a 3D point (position + height) for the aircraft and gimbal to automatically track throughout the orbit — the camera stays framed on your subject no matter the radius or altitude.

This overrides the Gimbal pitch setting above, since pitch is now computed per waypoint to look at the point.

Click the map to set the point of interest.

Draw a polyline path to survey. Parallel passes run along it, spaced to overlap.

Swath width (m) Photo spacing (m)

Line spacing (m)

Line spacing sets the sidelap between passes. A wider swath needs more passes, not wider gaps.

Waypoint actions
Actions run at every waypoint, in the order listed. New missions start with no actions — add "Take photo" if you want a photo at each stop.

Gimbal pitch below is a mission-level camera setting applied across the whole flight; it is not an action and doesn't count toward the free action limit. "Set gimbal pitch" is still available as an action for per-waypoint control.

To customise a single waypoint's actions, preview the route and click any waypoint dot on the map.

Runs at every waypoint, in order. None by default. Click a waypoint on the map to override individually.

Applied across the whole flight — not a waypoint action, doesn't count toward the action limit.

Max waypoints / KMZ file

200 is the DJI maximum. 60 is recommended for reliable RC loading.

Terrain follow Pro

Adjust altitude to terrain Never descend below launch altitude

Over ground below your takeoff point, hold at launch level instead of flying lower. Those waypoints fly higher above the ground than the set height.

Takeoff point optional

Why this matters
Every waypoint height in DJI missions is relative to the takeoff point — not sea level. If your drone arms on a hill 20 m above the field, all your planned altitudes will be 20 m too low.

Set this to the exact spot where the drone will lift off. If left unset, the first waypoint is used as reference.

Uses first waypoint by default
