Mapping Question

[Dimension Drone]

I set up the mapping area in Google Earth Pro and uploaded it to the controller, which worked great. When it planned the mapping mission, it had a perimeter path that it transited around the entire area, burning up time and battery. What am I doing wrong?

I just did this.

I created a simple polygon in Google Earth. I right clicked on the polygon and Save Place as and chose KML as the file type.

I placed the KML on an SD card.

On the RC Plus 2 in Flight Routes I pressed +. Then choose the KML option. I then designed a Area Route/Mapping mission and filled in the required parameters. Make sure you you choose the M4E for your drone.

Thank you for the reply. Using the 4T but that shouldn't matter I don't think...I will spend some time with it to see why it built a perimeter path in addition to a mapping path.
