You may also have better luck if you clarify which app you're talking about. I'm assuming that you mean the DJI Go 4 app, but there's also Litchi and DJI's Ground Station Pro. To be honest, though, I don't think there are a lot of people doing waypoint missions using DJI Go 4, which may be why you haven't gotten a response before now.
I can't speak from personal experience because I've only ever used LItchi for waypoint missions, but at least with it the scenario you've described doesn't apply. That's because the idea behind a waypoint mission is to specify a series of coordinates / locations ("waypoints") to which the aircraft should fly. So your scenario of flying some kind of pattern starting from one place and then the same pattern from a different location doesn't apply, at least not with Litchi. And I believe all three use the same API, so I think that what you're describing wouldn't work with the DJI apps either.
If you have a serious interest in waypoint missions -- and I think they're very useful and fun -- then you should seriously consider paying for Litchi; the "mission hub" web UI alone makes it well worth the cost, and there's no 500m limit on where you can fly. Some people even prefer it for flying "manually", though I personally don't use Litchi for that. I've also heard good things about Autopilot and understand that it uses a very different approach that gives it some additional flexibility, but again I have no personal experience with it. |
