I urgently request that the DJI Fly app on the DJI RC2 is updated to allow the user to zoom much further in, when placing waypoints manually using the map, in waypoint mode. Currently, there is an inadequate limit to how much you can zoom in on the map, and that makes waypoint placing very frustrating.

Also, place add the ability to swap the order of existing waypoints.

Also, instead of the "apply to all" button, please change it to "apply to selected waypoints", when making a change to, say, the gimbal tilt, in a waypoint.

Thank you! I have further feedback:

1) On the RC2, I am able to enter waypoint mode, even when the controller is not connected to the Mini 4 Pro drone. This is very useful, as it allows me to plan a waypoint mission just using my controller, without also getting out the drone and turning it on. So I can sit at home at my table and set up a waypoint mission. However,
--- this is not possible in the DJI Fly Android app on my phone. There, I can enter "camera view", but the waypoint icon is not there, because I am not connected to the drone. I would like to be able to plan waypoint missions on my phone, when I'm not connected to my Mini 4 Pro, just like I can on my RC2 controller.

2) The waypoint mission editor needs an undo button. Sometimes I move a precisely waypoint by mistake, and then it is tricky to move it back (especially due to the lack of zoom that I mentioned in my inital post). I would like to have an undo button for such occasions.

3) Whenever I click on the map, in waypoint editing mode, a new waypoint is added at the end of the waypoint list. However, I would like to be able to insert a new waypoint in between two existing waypoints. This could be done e.g. by
- the user selects an existing waypoint
- and then either:
-- there is a + button/"insert after this waypoint" button.
-- clicking the map (while an existing waypoint is selected) brings up an option
---- Add waypoint after this
---- Add waypoint at end

4) More camera options for waypoints. Currently there's only "take photo" and "start/stop video". We need:
- Take 360 panorama
- Start Timed Shot
- Stop Timed Shot

5) A webpage that allows creating and editing waypoint missions. In a way, it's a bit silly to have to edit waypoint missions on a tiny screen. I would be much better to have a webpage that we can access using the browser on a computer, where we can create and edit waypoint missions, and then send the mission to our controller/phone -  preferably through our DJI account, for easy synchronization.

Thanks again!

The requirement for improved editing for waypoint flights is very real

+ Additional zoom
+ Undo button
+ Insert waypoint (take best practice from draw.io where an opaque new waypoint is always available half way between waypoints for dragging)
Webpage editing
+ Having created an awesome flight path, how to export, save and share it?

Note to community: my planned workaround meanwhile is to use a USB dongle to attach to a larger screen and use Bluetooth mouse to navigate.

It is September 2024 and firmware hasn't corrected the map zoom. I've created a localized waypoint mission with a POI but am NOT able to zoom in to select which waypoints to attach to it. I'm new to the mini 4 Pro so hopefully I'm missing something. How to zoom in to see actual mission instead of a glob of points!
