Touch & Fly: Waypoint
Waypoint is the default “Touch & Fly” mode. It enables you to fly Thermal to
any point on the map. Tap “Touch & Fly” from the “PILOTING MODE” box menu.
The map of your surroundings opens full screen. The live image captured by
Thermal is minimized in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Tap a point on the map to select a destination for Thermal: this point is
marked as a white circle with a green border. For each new Waypoint Touch & Fly
session, FreeFlight 6 asks you to confirm the first destination of Thermal as on
the following screen capture. Tap the green “TAP HERE TO START” box, Thermal
starts flying toward its designated destination. Use the slider on the right of the
screen to control the drone’s altitude (the green figure inside the circle) when it
reaches its destination.
Android Touch & Fly: first destination confirmation screen
Activate “Touch & Fly” Waypoint with care: be especially careful with your touches on
the screen in this mode, as after the initial confirmation, any tap on the map will
immediately send Thermal to the corresponding spot.
For this reason, Parrot recommends you set your FreeFlight 6 filming or photography
options before activating the “Touch & Fly” Waypoint mode.
If, by mistake, you have sent Thermal toward a dangerous area, tap the STOP
box at the center of the top bar of the HUD, or firmly reclaim commands from the
Parrot Skycontroller 3.
Touch & Fly: POI
To access the POI “Touch & Fly option”, tap the “Type” box from the lower bar of the
HUD, and select POI.
In POI mode, tap a point on the map to create a point of interest (POI), marked as a
white square diamond with a blue border, labelled with a POI icon. Control the height
of the POI (the blue figure inside the square diamond) through the slider on the right:
this effectively controls the tilt of the gimbal, while you use the Parrot Skycontroller 3
to fly around your target. Thermal remains focused on the POI.
