Can I plan DJI waypoint missions on desktop?
Yes. DroneGo.io is a browser-based desktop planning workspace for drawing routes, shaping altitude, setting focal points, previewing the route and exporting DJI-compatible waypoint mission files for supported DJI drones.
Can I automate repeat flights with DJI Fly drones?
DroneGo.io helps create repeatable DJI-compatible waypoint missions for supported DJI Fly waypoint drones. The pilot must still review the mission, aircraft limits, airspace, take-off reference and site conditions before every flight.
Can I create waypoint missions without flying the route first?
Yes. You can plan a route from the map, set heights and camera intent, preview it, validate it and generate a mission file. Imported flight telemetry is optional for recreating a route you already flew.
How do I repeat the same drone shot every month?
Use a consistent take-off reference, plan a repeatable waypoint path, keep focal points and camera settings deliberate, preview the route, then review the site each month before flying because conditions and obstacles can change.
Can I use DroneGo.io for construction progress photography?
Yes. DroneGo.io is designed for repeatable construction progress routes, monthly site updates and client-facing previews, while keeping the pilot responsible for legal compliance and site safety.
Does DroneGo.io replace DJI Fly?
No. DroneGo.io is an independent planning and preview tool. It is designed for DJI Fly waypoint workflows, but pilots still use their supported DJI aircraft, controller and DJI software to review and fly the mission.
What is a DJI KMZ waypoint mission file?
A DJI KMZ waypoint mission file is a zipped mission package used by supported DJI waypoint workflows. DroneGo.io generates DJI-compatible KMZ output and preview files from the planned route.
Can DroneGo.io help with before-and-after drone videos?
Yes. It helps pilots plan and repeat a route, camera angle and take-off reference so before-and-after videos can be matched more closely across demolition, construction, landscaping, property and creative work.
Does DroneGo.io make my flight legal?
No. DroneGo.io is a planning tool only. Users remain responsible for legal compliance, airspace checks, site assessment, safe operation and reviewing every mission before flight.
Which DJI drones work best with DroneGo.io?
DroneGo.io is aimed first at modern DJI Fly waypoint drones such as DJI Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Air 3S and the Mavic 3 family. The planner now lets you select your aircraft so speed, waypoint count, altitude and gimbal pitch validation can use that drone's known limits. See the
DJI waypoint drone compatibility guide for the full breakdown.
Can I fly BVLOS with DroneGo.io?
No permission is created by using the software. DroneGo.io does not grant BVLOS approval, operational authorisation or any exemption from local rules.
Is DroneGo.io approved by the CAA?
No. DroneGo.io is an independent planning tool. It is built to support responsible pilots, but it is not endorsed by the CAA and should not be treated as regulatory approval.
Can waypoint missions improve safety?
Structured planning can reduce workload and improve consistency, which may support safer habits. But the pilot remains fully responsible for airspace, weather, obstacles, VLOS, site conditions and the actual decision to fly.
Does a repeat mission guarantee the same path every time?
No. DroneGo cannot guarantee the same path every time. Wind, GNSS conditions, firmware changes, aircraft behaviour and site conditions can all affect the actual path flown. Repeatable missions improve consistency and make the plan easier to review, but they do not guarantee identical real-world results.
Can I use imported flight data without checking it?
No. Imported routes should always be reviewed before launch. Check route fidelity, altitude interpretation, headings, gimbal actions, terrain clearance,
TOALP reference and any changed site conditions.
Why does TOALP matter so much for repeatability?
Because DJI waypoint height is calculated from take-off. If you launch from a different take-off point, or fail to set
TOALP correctly when take-off is different from the first waypoint, the mission can fly at the wrong real-world height even if the route shape is correct.
What does the flight converter do?
Flight Replay beta imports DJI flight telemetry, using SRT for the path and LRF where available for camera and gimbal enhancement, and turns that route into an editable repeatable waypoint-style mission. It is designed for recreating successful manual shots later.
What file types can I upload for Flight Replay?
Use a DJI .SRT file for the flight path. Add the matching .LRF file when available if you need camera heading and gimbal movement. Turn on DJI video subtitles before flying so the SRT telemetry is captured. The browser and API both reject unsupported file types.
Do I still press record during an automated mission?
Yes. DroneGo automates the flight path, not the camera operator. In DJI Fly, choose when to press record, stop recording or take photos. For repeat video, try to start and stop recording at the same point in the flight each time so edits line up more easily.
Why is LRF useful if SRT already has the flight path?
SRT is enough to recreate a route path, but it may not include the camera heading and gimbal data needed to recreate a useful shot. LRF can provide richer camera/orientation data when the server can decode it.
How large can Flight Replay uploads be?
Upload limits are configured by the server and shown in the Flight Replay workspace. Phase 1 validates file size before upload and again in the API. Future work should investigate extracting only the required SRT/LRF telemetry before transfer.
What happens when I hit my monthly Flight Replay limit?
Free accounts can create one replay preview per month and cannot download replay missions. Pro Pilot includes one preview and one replay download per month. Commercial Pilot includes three of each, then can buy extra replay download packs.
Can I edit the generated mission afterwards?
Yes. Flight Replay loads the converted route into the planner so you can review waypoints, altitude, camera intent and export readiness before downloading a mission.
Is my uploaded flight data stored?
Uploaded SRT/LRF files are processed as temporary files by the API and removed after processing. DroneGo.io records usage metadata such as file type, size, processing time, success or failure, and account tier for allowance and troubleshooting.
Will an imported flight perfectly match the original manual flight?
Not perfectly. Flight Replay beta works best with smooth, steady manual flights where you want to recreate route and camera intent. Abrupt stick inputs, sharp turns, speed changes, smoothing, turn interpolation and real-world conditions can all affect the result.
Do I still need to check airspace and geofencing if the mission exports?
Yes. Successful export does not mean the route is legal or flyable. Always verify current airspace, permissions, NOTAMs and manufacturer restrictions immediately before flight.
Can I use DroneGo.io outside the UK?
Yes, but local laws differ by country. UK-first guidance may be helpful, but users must check their own local aviation authority requirements and operating rules.
