Awesome, I will wait until the final firmware version is released

I have used the mission app various times and I don't have the beta firmware installed. Unless Autel installed it while it was at their shop.

Looks like it is only Boat Mode that will need the new firmware if I’m reading those notes correctly.

I would guess that you need the beta app also so it shows up as an option.

I'm thrilled with boat mode. The current version of mission planner is too basic for my needs so I hope that Autel will continue to develop it.

What exacly would you use mission planner? I found out that it does a decent photogrammetry.

Since it is listed as -Added Mission Planning feature v1
I would think v1 means version one and more improvements will be coming.

I did mine ota as a message came up saying new firmware was available.

I am used to the mission planner in arducopter where I can plan a very detailed and robust mission (not mapping which I would use very infrequently) in the office and then take it to the field and fly it. It saves time and can perform complex tasks not possible in the EVO.

Does boat mode affect how return-to-home functions?

I would assume if you're following the boat, you'd want to RTH to the boat's location. But if I want to hand launch on dry land while using that mode, I want RTH to be where I took off from.

That's another "I wish" thing. I asked Alejandro (autel) about a dynamic return to home because it's important for flying from a moving platform. He said that they couldn't do it because there is no gps in the controller. When I suggested that there is because the phone has one I got crickets.

That's concerning. I'm pretty sure I saw "remote" as one of the home point settings. I can't verify this at the moment.

Dang! I just got reminded of the good info available here. I have been so busy working... but business has slowed down a bit. Now I have a good reason to work on my own boat instead of everyone else's.
