GPX to Litchi Waypoint Mission Converter Instructions

Instructions

This application will convert track segments or waypoints from a GPX file into a Litchi CSV file.

In page one of GPX to Litchi Waypoint Mission:
1. Select the desired units to be stored in the Litchi CSV file.
2. Select the desired heading mode.
3. Select the desired path mode.
4. If the GPX file contains MSL elevation data, this option can be used to enable the specification of an above-ground height.
5. Select the minimum distance between waypoints. This will cause the conversion process to skip GPX data so that no two waypoints are closer than this distance.
6. Select the mission height. This value will be used for all waypoints.
7. Select the gimbal pitch angle. This value will be used for all waypoints.
8. Use the file chooser to upload your gpx file.
9. Generate the mission and review the resulting parameters.
In page two of GPX to Litchi Waypoint Mission:

2. Download the csv file.
In the Litchi Mission Hub:
1. Use the Missions menu to import the csv file created by GPX to Litchi Converter.
2. In "Settings" make sure that the "Heading Mode" is set to "Custom(WD)".

4. Go fly!

This web application can be used to convert a GPX file into a Litchi waypoint mission. GPX files are written in XML and are commonly used with Garmin devices. A GPX file can contain three primary types of information:

Waypoints (converted to a Litchi waypoint mission)
Routes (ignored)
Tracks (converted to a Litchi waypoint mission)
- Note: If both waypoints and tracks are present, tracks are used in the conversion.

Track segments typically containing GPS coordinates and elevations. The elevation data may or may not represent ground level MSL elevation data. If the "Above Ground" option is checked below, the specified height will be added to the difference between the elevation of the current waypoint minus the elevation of waypoint 1. In some cases, this will simulate the "Above Ground" option found in Litchi's Mission Hub.
