Is Pix4D the only waypoint enabled app for the Spark?

There is also Red Waypoint. The little I have tested works fine.

I'll have to keep an eye on it.  Looks relatively new, but I am sure it will grow into something very nice.  Downside it's only android ?

Does using a non dji app void the warranty?

Interesting question:
DJI had to give access to the DJI SDK, to let people develop apps.
But then they say :no warranty if 3. part app in use?

Anyway: My bird I am starting to use litchi with ist now out of warranty, anyway!

You have dji mod missions(free), but it works together with the DJI go 4.1.15 mod.apk

It is surprising that the Spark doesn't have waypoints. I had a cheap Hubsan 507A and it had waypoints. Mind you, they had to close together since it had a range of 100m and flight time of 9 mins, and when you got there you could only take 2Mpx pictures or 720p video. The only time I used it was to test it out.

Pix4D Des not support waypoints for Spark.
Once you select the type of craft you have - freeflight is the only flight option.
Whereas all the other DJI craft have grid, double grid and other flight templates.
Pix4D states they will include the other mapping options soon.

AutoPilot has a steep learning curve and will not continue (or start) a mission if out of range (or WP is out of range)

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. I would like to inform you that using a third party app will void the warranty of the drone in any case that the aircraft will experience incident as we don't have an access with this third-party software. At the moment, the waypoints feature is not available with our spark. Please fly in an open area and avoid flying in a hazardous area to prevent an incident. Thank you.

Translation:  if your Spark crashes whilst using Litchi it’s warranty is voided.

"a third party app will void the warranty of the drone in any case that the aircraft will experience incident as we don't have an access with this third-party software."
Is that the only requierement, a flight record saved in the Go4 system?
Wouldn't that mean, using the modded 4.1.15 for waypoints, all would be ok?
Or:
As "we" can change DJI flight records into csv's, shouldn't it be possible, to convert csv's in DJI- .txt's, too?

Litchi for Spark is out of Beta with Waypoints available.   Very very slick and lots of capabilities.
