Marking Points

To mark a point in FireMapper:

  1. Open the Map in FireMapper that you would like to edit on the paired device.

    ../_images/firemapper_map.png

  2. Select the Point Target Source type from the left sidebar, if you need to change it. This will determine what InFlight uses as the location to mark the point (e.g. Laser Target, DEM Target, or Aircraft Location).

  3. Select the Point Type from the left sidebar (if required).

    ../_images/point_types.png

  4. Tap the Mark Point button on the bottom side side of the pilot screen. You can also use the R1 button to mark the point (e.g. DJI RC Plus, DJI RC Plus 2, etc). You can also assign the C1/C2 buttons if required to mark points in the InFlight settings screen.

Recording Lines

To record a line in FireMapper:

  1. Open the Map in FireMapper that you would like to edit on the paired device.

    ../_images/firemapper_map.png

  2. Select the Line Type from the left sidebar, if you need to change it.

  3. Tap the Start Recording button to begin recording the line. InFlight will use the drone’s location as the source to record the line in FireMapper. You can also use the R2 button to start recording the line (e.g. DJI RC Plus, DJI RC Plus 2, etc). You can also assign the C1/C2 buttons if required to mark points in the InFlight settings screen.

  4. Fly the drone along the desired path to record the line.

  5. Tap the Stop Recording button to finish recording the line.

Capturing Photos

To capture photos and send them to FireMapper. InFlight & FireMapper do not currently support video capture.

  1. Open the Map in FireMapper that you would like to edit on the paired device.

    ../_images/firemapper_map.png

  2. Select the desired Camera using the buttons on the left sidebar. InFlight will only capture a photo from the camera that is currently selected (e.g. Zoom, Wide, IR, etc). If you would like to capture IR & Visible at the same time, use SBS mode on the IR camera view.

  3. Tap the Capture Photo button on the right side of the pilot screen. You can also use the Capture button on the remote controller to capture photos (e.g. DJI RC Plus, DJI RC Plus 2, etc).

    ../_images/photo_button.png

  4. The photo will be shared with FireMapper. It takes around 5 seconds to download the photo from the drone and send it to the paired FireMapper device. If you are using a DJI mini series, the live video feed will be paused while the photo is being downloaded. Other drones such as the M30T and Matrice 4 will continue to show the live video feed while the photo is being downloaded.
