MORE THAN A GRID GENERATOR
Your mission, from every angle.
Plan in 2D when you need speed. Move into 3D when you need to see exactly where the drone and camera will go.

3D FLIGHT PLANNING
Plan your flight path in three dimensions.
Import a point cloud and position your mission directly around the scene. Adjust waypoint altitude, heading, speed, and gimbal angle with the model right in front of you.
- Import point clouds into the 3D view
- Select and edit individual waypoints in 3D
- Switch between familiar 2D and 3D views
NEW WAYS TO PLAN
Powerful tools. Less setup.
From mapping a field to orbiting a structure, build the route that fits the job instead of adjusting the job to fit the route.
ALTITUDE CONTROL
Altitude hold for changing terrain.
Plan with changing ground elevation in mind instead of relying on a flat-site assumption. Review clearances for every flight.
KMZ WORKFLOW
Import existing routes. Edit without starting over.
Open supported DJI waypoint KMZ or Google Earth KMZ files, modify your route, and keep working inside WaypointMap.
A SIMPLER FLIGHT WORKFLOW
From your screen to the sky.
WaypointMap builds flight plans. Your compatible DJI aircraft executes the mission using its supported waypoint-flight workflow.
Plan
Draw a polygon, rectangle, orbit, or custom route. Start from scratch or import a KMZ file.

Install
Install the waypoint mission file on your controller.
Fly
Export your mission, then use the desktop KMZ Installer on compatible devices or follow the device-specific installation guide.
Create your first mission No desktop app required for planning.
THE NEXT STEP AFTER PLANNING · PREMIUM
From KMZ file to DJI controller. Without the folder hunt.
Build your flight plan in WaypointMap, then use the optional Windows desktop KMZ Installer to simplify transferring it to a compatible DJI device over USB. Spend less time moving files and more time flying.
✓ DJI RC 2, RC Pro 1/2, and compatible screen controllers
✓ Android phones used with RC-N controllers
Available through WaypointMap Premium. Compatible devices and steps vary. iPhone installation uses a separate file-transfer process explained in the device guide; the Windows app is not an iPhone installer.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things before takeoff.
Does WaypointMap fly my drone directly?
WaypointMap is a browser-based mission planner. Supported DJI aircraft execute waypoint missions using their compatible DJI flight workflow after the mission has been transferred to the device.
Can I import a KMZ straight into DJI Fly?
DJI Fly does not offer a general external KMZ import button. The optional Windows desktop KMZ Installer can simplify transfer to supported controllers and Android devices; other devices use the device-specific installation instructions.
Does the desktop KMZ Installer work with iPhone?
The Windows desktop installer is intended for compatible USB-connected DJI controllers and Android devices. If you fly with an iPhone, use the separate iPhone instructions in the installation guide.
Do I need a subscription?
Basic WaypointMap mission planning is free. Some advanced tools and KMZ workflows are part of WaypointMap Premium. Review the current feature list before buying.
BUILT BY A PILOT, FOR PILOTS
From a source you can trust.
WaypointMap is developed and run by Jay’s Tech Vault, a drone technology channel with over 220,000 subscribers. Its founder holds a master’s degree in Computer Engineering from NC State University.
The project has received recognition through NC State’s entrepreneurship programs and has been part of the Andrews Launch Accelerator.
