Hello
I am a newbie at this as of today !
I usually capture for clients using DroneDeploy and KML files are provided to me based on client outline of the project.
A new client has requested the use of PIX4D Capture to complete capture of 2 assignments due tomorrow .
My client agent has provided the KML for drone deploy but unfortunately I don’t see ANY way to upload them on the Desktop dashboard or the IOS device itself.
Short of having to get onsite and start fussing with drawing a polygon from a tablet and launch and hope for the best … I would rather pre-plan and use a provided KML !
PLEASE HELP or Advise as to how i can do this …
VERY Sadly This is an important project related to COVID19 two Cemeteries expansions and I would like to provide a good 2D project .
ALSO : DOES PIX4D continue the LOADED mission to the aircraft or DOES IT come back home if it looses connectivity … I would like it to continue the capture until the passes are done , or time to swap batteries.
looking forward to some answers.
Thanks
Hi @serge.azadian,
You can only import the .kml file in the android version of the Pix4Dcapture app. This feature is not available on the iOS version of the Pix4Dcapture. For more information, I would recommend you to go through our support article on (Android) Import .kml/.kmz file .
The drone will continue flying, and land (RTH location) after the mission has completed, in case you lose the connectivity.
Regards,
Thank you …
My android version was too old to accept your software .
I drew the contour using the iOS app.
It was a very large cemetery that used 3 batteries .
So question … what happens when you loose connection and mission requires a battery swap and 30% or 25% and it looses connection ?
Does to complete the required mission down the low battery or immediately return home ?
This is for future use and I completed my mission Friday
Thanks
…

Hi Serge,
After you battery reaches the lowest set percentage, it will automatically return to home. I would suggest you go watch the below video.

Really really sad. IIt’s crazy that you are a mapping specialyzed company but we can’t use IOS. I have 30 square kilometers to do and you want me to do 64 flight boxes on site with my finger on the tablet ??? Unfortunately I will have to quit your application to optimize my work. Several hours and days of preparation for this project. I hope this sheds more light on the importance of having access to external data prepared in advance for large-scale operations.
