How do I fly to specific GPS coordinates?

[WildDoktor]

I posted this over on rcgroups, but thought I'd also post here.

Autel support says the the Starlink app doesn't have the ability for us to input GPS coordinates and fly to them, nor can we output the GPS coordinates of where we've flown. (Tim said that it *could* happen once they release the SDK, but of course that'll be up to the developer.)

I have a potential client who would need me to do both.

Do any of you know of a quad/hex/octa/whatever that has these 2 abilities?

Does the Naza M V2 have that ability? If not, what flight controller would allow me to do these things?

Thanks!

You can pick up a 3DR Solo really cheap on eBay and use mission planner for specific waypoints....pretty sure the Solo is no longer in production but you can get them on fire sale and they're solid machines..you just have to use a GoPro camera....download MP for free.

Ok, so pixhawk will do it via mission planner...thats good!

Anybody know if a Naza M v2 can do it? I *think* the Tower app can plan Naza flights; is that correct? Are there other apps that can control naza flights?

Not sure but the Litchi app for the phantoms is pretty versatile...it may be able to do what you are looking for.

Here's a flyable Solo package for $300 (without gimbal/camera)....I may have to pick one of these up myself...instant mission-planner machine

Thanks guys; turns out that the XSP capabilities are "good enough" for my client, so no more worries! (I told them I can pull up google maps and zoom in and drop a waypoint "pretty close", and that the flight logs show gps coordinates in the lower right during playback, and that's good enough for them.)

I am very new to my Autel explorer app using an EVO 2 drone, but from I get from this discussion is that flying to gps coords using the explorer app is not possible. Is that correct?
