MISSION PLANNING, UNLOCKED
Plan mapping flights
DJI won't let you.
Your Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, or Mavic 3 has waypoint support but no mission planning software and no SDK. Waypoint OS is a desktop app that lets you draw a boundary, auto-generate flight lines matched to your camera, and export a KMZ file you drop onto your controller. Done.

Every feature included. Every update free. No tiers. No upsells. No expiration.
HOW IT WORKS
From boundary to flight plan
in under two minutes.
No account needed. No cloud dependency.
Everything runs locally on your machine.
01
Select your drone
Pick from the built-in drone library. Waypoint OS auto-loads your cameraβs sensor size, focal length, and resolution so overlap math is done right, no manual spec entry.
02
Draw your boundary
Click points on the satellite or street map to outline your survey area. Close the polygon and see real-time area, GSD, and estimated photo count update instantly.
03
Tune your parameters
Set altitude, speed, frontal and side overlap. Watch the flight lines recalculate live on the map. Spacing is computed from your actual camera specs, not guesses.
04
Export and fly
One click exports a DJI-compatible KMZ file. Transfer it to your controller, load the mission in DJI Fly, and fly a fully automated mapping grid with straight-line paths.
FEATURES
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Built for commercial drone operators who need reliable mission planning without the enterprise price tag.
Auto Flight Lines
Lawnmower pattern generation clipped to your polygon boundary. Serpentine routing minimizes turning time. Optional overshoot buffer for full edge coverage.
Camera-Aware Overlap
Frontal and side overlap percentages drive actual line spacing based on your drone's sensor dimensions and focal length. Real photogrammetry math, not generic defaults.
Mission Splitting
Large area? Waypoint OS warns when you approach controller waypoint limits and can split the mission into multiple KMZ files sized for a single battery.
Project Dashboard
Save unlimited projects with name, description, and drone assignment. Sort and filter by drone model, date, or status. Duplicate past projects to iterate faster.
Satellite + Street Map
Toggle between satellite imagery and street tiles. Geocoding search bar to jump to any address. Vertex-by-vertex polygon editing with snap handles.
Free Updates, Forever
New drone profiles, algorithm improvements, UI enhancements β all included. When DJI drops a new drone with waypoints, we add it. You never pay again.
Automated Camera Triggers
Photo trigger intervals are pre-calculated based on your speed, altitude, and overlap settings. The KMZ embeds the right spacing so DJI Fly fires the shutter on schedule.
Straight-Line Paths
Flight lines use straight segments β not DJI Fly's default curved splines that ruin mapping coverage. Your grid stays a grid.
Commercial Ready
Licensed for commercial use on day one. No "personal only" restrictions. Use it on client jobs, government contracts, inspection work, anything.
COMPATIBILITY
Works with every DJI drone
that has waypoints.
If your drone supports waypoint missions in DJI Fly but doesn't have SDK-based mission planning software, Waypoint OS fills the gap.
