Drones with flight plan function

Flight plan (Waypoints)

— the ability to set a specific flight route for the quadcopter, by control points. This function is very similar to the GPS waypoint flyby (see related paragraph), but it works differently, without the use of GPS navigation. One of the most popular options is building a route in the smartphone application through which the copter is controlled; when the programme is launched, the smartphone issues a sequence of commands corresponding to the route to the device.

In general, the Waypoints mode is not as accurate as a GPS waypoint flyby and offers fewer options. Therefore, this function is mainly for entertainment purposes; if the copter has a camera, it can be useful for taking a selfie or a simple video.
