Set a Default End Point for Missions

Simplify mission planning by setting a point of interest as the default end point in the field.

The Default End Point feature allows vMC users to designate a specific location within a field as the mission's automatic end point. This simplifies mission planning by eliminating the need to manually drop an end point for each mission. If a default end point is set for a field, it will be pre-selected in the Mission Planner. If no default end point is set, the mission's end point will default to "Same as Start."

 

Implementation

Setting a Default End Point

  1. Navigate to the Edit Field Geometries page.

  2. Press the New POI button to create a new point of interest.

  3. In the New POI Modal, you will see an option to toggle on Default End Point.

  4. Toggle this option on to set the POI as the default end point for the field.

Important Notes:

  • A POI can only be set as a default end point if it is located inside a field boundary.

  • Only one default end point can exist per field boundary. If you set a new POI as the default end point for a field that already has one, the new selection will override the previous one.

Using the Default End Point

  1. Open the Mission Planner for a field that has a default end point set.

  2. The End Point selection will be pre-filled with the designated POI.

  3. If a field does not have a default end point, the end point selection will be automatically set to "Same as Start."

Troubleshooting

  • "Default End Point" toggle is disabled: If the POI is not located inside a field boundary, you will not be able to enable the "Default End Point" option.

  • Default end point is not being selected in Mission Planner: Verify that the correct field boundary has a default end point set. Remember, only one POI per field can be designated as the default end point.

  • Need to change the default end point: To change the default end point, simply set another POI in the same field as the new default. The system will automatically override the previous selection.
