Background: I'm a mac user, and tried using APM Planner for surveying missions but it seems to not be supported with the same functionality that is in Mission Planner. I don't have a PC, but do have an android tablet that gets used only for flying solo.
I put solex on with the add-ons. So far, very happy with it. The only issue I am having is that a have a survey job coming up that is about 1000 acres. I have the mikrotik cards and fpvlr antennas so range is not an issue, but as we all know, battery life is the weak link at that point.
I believe I can do the whole survey in 3 batteries. I know I can pause/resume a mission but this seems to only work while solo is in the air. If you land it, the controls revert back to send & arm > takeoff > start. I dont see a way to resume the previous mission and therefore all missions are only good for the length of one battery.
Is this a software limitation or am I missing something?
