It would be nice if Site Scan could support waypoint flight plans. I have several use cases for having a drone fly to a waypoint and take nadir or oblique photo(s). At its most basic, being able to add waypoints to a map and set actions to occur at each waypoint, or all waypoints, would be helpful. Ideally, the user would also (or alternately) be able to select a point layer from ArcGIS Online and have site scan plan a flight route to fly to each waypoint and take a photo. Similar to DJI apps that allow this, the user should be able to control actions that occur at each waypoint, for example go to a defined height, face the camera downward at 90 degrees, orient north, then take a photo. It would be nice to be able to set a default action for all the waypoints at once but also be able to control individual settings/actions for certain waypoints if needed.
