Insert Waypoint After Waypoint #

Ground Control Software Mission Planner

Does anybody know what happened to the Right Click, Insert WPT After WPT# option in the latest Mission Planner?

It should still be there. If it’s gone it shouldn’t have

Michael,

I see if you select Insert Spline WP it defaults to a location in the Atlantic off the west coast of Africa - is there any way of changing that default location a little closer to the actual flight plan area?

is this in MP beta? or MP stable?

I have the same need to insert a waypoint at a specific point in an existing mission or either to be able to insert it at the end (default) and easily cut and paste it back up where I need it.

In case this helps someone, though, the way I do it now is to create the new waypoint, save the waypoints out to a temporary file, go into a text editor and cut and paste the waypoint where I want it. There is not need to renumber the lines. MP renumbers as it brings them in. This isn’t too bad of a work around.

please try the latest beta MP
you will see an extra + on every line to do a mid point insert

Thank you Michael, that is an awesome feature, and thank you so much for putting that little green button back to view/hide the waypoint table.

I feel terrible asking, but any idea when we are going to be able to use more than 700 waypoints?

That will be very useful and time saving. Thank you, Michael.

the 700 limit is an ardupilot limit.
if you use a cubeblack/orange, with a custom firmware you can jump up over double that limit

It’s just the latest cube black firmware with the max WP modification

I will go to the Hex Board and ask how one goes about doing that.

That link I posted has a firmware file that has the modification

I fear you give me far too much credit for my knowledge regarding the workings of these controllers.

Is there a step by step guide anywhere on how to use this file?

I’m leaning towards ‘Load Custom Firmware’ in Mission Planner, but what will happen to Rover 4.0? as I have just got that working right?
