Yes. Mission speed can be adjusted, but the mission must be paused in order for it to take effect. Once you pause the mission, you may enter the general settings tab by tapping the WISPR logo in the top left, and change the speed of the mission using the dropdown.

How does Terrain Follow work?

  • Terrain Follow uses global terrain data to direct the elevation adjustments of the drone based on the information it receives from the terrain tiles that are downloaded. A conversion occurs based on local position in relation to the reference point, which takes into account the Earth’s curvature during this process.

    • As a result of this process, this form of terrain follow is only considering the geography of the terrain on a larger scale, and often may not include structures that are present, though this isn’t always the case.

      • When using terrain follow in this fashion, the drone pauses for a few seconds on the first waypoint of each turn, but will swing into the next line of the survey as usual when motion resumes. This currently is a byproduct of the conversion process that occurs.
