In Litchi Waypoints Load Mission there are 2 buttons, "Email" and "Load". When I click Email I get the following screen. Where do I setup mail accounts?

That fixed the problem. Thanks. I wasn't using mail because I use Outlook.
I've had no problems with long (>1000m) between waypoints. One was a survey type mission with multiple parallel legs each about 1100 m. This was the first time I was that far away and was really nervous. Even though the bird was technically still VLOS, it was awfully small! Only problem I had was this was when I found out about the size limit on video files. Wound up with 3 separate files instead of the one expected.Litchi continues the mission even if it loses signal, as long as it sets home point correctly and the speeds at each waypoint are not too slow. Also, take it up to 40 feet and let it hover 3-5 min near the first waypoint and let it set the vision system and gather satellites.....get as many as you can. I set the last waypoint at 20 feet and choose it to finish as "none" in the mission setup, then bring it down manually and hand catch it. Works every time. also keep your waypoints no more 100 feet or so apart, it does not like long distances between them. Add a few midpoints if you need to.. This program works extremely well if ALL THE PARAMETERS OF EACH WAYPOINT ARE SET CORRECTLY, seems most every crash here is a wrong/missed setting at an individual waypoint or mission parameter. Also, and very important, when running the mission, if you tap the screen accidentally, you can add a final waypoint that you don't mean and the bird may possibly go there after whAt you think is your final waypoint. Litchi is working on changing this, an easy workaround is before you fly, set the waypoint/POI button up top right for POI, not waypoint. That way, you'll add a POI, which is inert if added.

This is an excellent general practice, and one I follow every time as well (although I manually land, not hand-catch -- style, not substance ). Only thing I do different is keep it at tree/building/obstacle clearing altitude, and bring it down manually from there.Litchi continues the mission even if it loses signal, as long as it sets home point correctly and the speeds at each waypoint are not too slow.

so if you create a long WP mission and loose signal I understand that Litchi will continue the mission but what happens if the mission is to long for the battery will it return to home with enough battery to make it home or will it continue mission and start to land when battery reaches critical?
At least, that's what you're hoping beyond all hope while disconnectedThe Phantom's Low Battery RTH will override the mission and cause the bird to immediately return to the recorded home point.
All good info, thank you guys!At least, that's what you're hoping beyond all hope while disconnected
