Hello,
I am working with a DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise drone.  I have a server that sends GPS locations every n seconds.  These locations are unknown beforehand.  What mode of flight supports this pattern?  I understand that waypoints are "prebaked", ie. I have to know them before takeoff.  I was considering Follow Me, but this seems very specific to that use case and I can't see how to support gimbal adjustments, zoom, etc.  I also considered Timeline, but I am not sure if realtime events can be pushed to it.

I think this should be a simple use case, as in, fly to (x,y,z), wait, look around, fly to (u,v,w), wait, look around, etc... and I just want to tell the drone to go somewhere.  For this same project, I am working with a Parrot Anafi drone.  These receive events in real time and perform them when received.  Is this mode available?

Thanks,
Aaron

You can upload new waypoints in flight. You only have to stop the mission and upload a new waypoint and start a new mission.Other option would be to use virtualstick.

Thank you Mats.  You are saying that in between waypoints, I can stop it, put in a new one (plus the rest) and then start again and that will be fine?

You have to end the mission. Upload a new one single WP. Start the new mission.

If you want to look around, you could use the gimbal and/or virtualstick.
