I don't use DJI Go's waypoints as it is essentially worthless to me. But I don't think there is a limit on litchi though. I never took it out that far, but people have done waypoints mission that go out for a few km even to the point they lose signal with the controller and it returns home safely. Search for youtube videos. Plenty of people have used waypoints a few km away from them. That should hopefully cover your property unless you have a few thousand acres.
I think ios Autopilot waypoints only work when you have signal. If you lose signal, it returns home. With litchi, it doesn't matter if it loses signal. It continues on its mission.
To me Litchi is superior for that reason alone. It also costs less.
Some people might survey a large acreage of forest with a lot of trees. They may very well expect to lose signal in some parts of the mission behind all those trees, but that is a requirement to do the job. With litchi, it will complete the mission. WIth Autopilot, it won't.
For me, I purchased the P3 after having reviewed its operation. I was really bummed about how DJI Go's waypoints needed you to fly to location first. That was almost a deal breaker for me until I learned about Litchi. I already factored in that I needed Litchi or something similar when I purchased my drone, so I just begrudgingly purchased the rather expensive program. Its actually one of my most expensive app purchases as most other apps, even huge games from major studios cost like $5. The only reason it wasn't the most expensive was because I purchased a GPS navigation app. But Litchi or waypoints or any other variant, is up there.
