Altitude

[Crockett]

I have a P4P. The altitude is measured from the home point. Is there a way to change that so altitude is measured from where the drone is actually flying? I fly where there are hills and think this would be safer!

No.

There is a way to link google earth maps with the terrain elevations into litchi so that you maintain as constant elevation above ground level. I have not tried this yet but did watch the YouTube video. this part of Texas is kinda flat! lol

In a Litchi mission you can do that directly in the mobile app by batch editing the waypoint altitudes relative to ground rather than relative to the home point - you don't need to involve Google Earth. Or are you referring to achieving that during manual flight in Litchi?

I am not actually sure, still learning litchi's capabilities most of my flying is manual as I pretty much only have to worry about tree's and anything over 100 feet around here is safe. I was just watching drone videos and saw the linking of google earth so that is why I mentioned it. The batch editing you mentions sounds a lot simpler than the video I saw!

I'm in Kansas and believe it or not we have hills... LOL! I'm new to this so that's over my head, but thanks!

This might be over your head for a while but you will catch on, as for hills in Kanas, they will never be over your head.
