The ground station software has the ofine positioning function. Notice: 1. Maps of Google Satellite and Google Earth for the same area are not universal; please add maps separately.2. To use the ofine positioning function, please download and back up maps in advance.Add Waypoint Method 1: Add a waypoint, please directly double-click the position where you want to add a waypoint on the map.Method 2: Click [Add Waypoint] in the Flight Mission Editor, and then click the position where you want to add a waypoint on the map to add a waypoint. It is better to add the first waypoint near home point to prevent the aircraft from colliding with obstacles due to excessive obliquity of the aircraft route during its ascending. Add all the desired waypoints with the same method. After adding the waypoints, you can view the following information of waypoints on the map: Horizontal projection distance between two waypointsAir routeIndex number of waypoint Color of air route before editing is nished: Red: Abnormal White: Normal Hidden air route: Abnormal Notice: Only Google Earth hints abnormality in air route altitude; Google Satellite does not have such hint, so the air route altitude should be judged by yourself.

Important notice: Settings will take effect only when [Save Settings] is clicked after a setting is modied. 11 Angle of Airborne Camera The angle of the airborne camera can be adjusted within the range of 0-105°. Map Backup The ground station system adopts the data platforms of Google Earth and Google Satellite Map. During map browsing, the system will automatically save the data of browsed maps to the system so that you can view the browsed maps ofine. However, the map storage capacity of Google Earth is limited (the maximum capacity of Google Earth is 2G and that of Google Satellite Maps is 1G). When the capacity of browsed map data exceeds this limit, the old map data will be lost. In addition, data loss may be caused by misoperation, which will result in the failure of access to Google Earth data platform after the ground station system is opened. To avoid loss of map data, data backup software is provided in the Ubuntu operating system. This software provides the following three functions: 1. Save map data; during use of the ground station, the user can save the map data according to area partition and date. Note: The data backup le should not exceed the map capacity limit (Google Earth: 2GB; Google Satellite Maps: 1GB).2. Restore map data; in case maps cannot be loaded due to data loss during use, if access to Internet is also not available, the user can enter this software to restore map data.3. Delete: Delete undesired backup data.](https://usermanual.wiki/AEE-Technology/AEED0100001/User-Guide-2442982-Page-51.png)
