Introduce waypoints from GIS?

Ground Control Software Mission Planner
1

Hi

Is it possible to create waypoints in a GIS mapping system, then import those to Mission Planner? Then during flight could you send a copter to wpt1 then wpt2 etc at a prescribed altitude? This would be very useful for taking photos of points that are already collected by handheld gps, or created in GIS. It would provide a good basis for monitoring programmes where you need the same photo at a wpt say once a month.

Thanks.

mp supports importing shape files for this purpose

I’m flexible, but .shp or .gpx
