"Re: guided mode
Yep - if you click on the map and do guided (even if you are in auto) it will set the next waypoint as the newly created guided waypoint (at default altitude per settings). "
Wade Hirsch replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Important fix for waypoints in the group Andropilot Users Group"Hello
