Photogrammetry & AGL Mission Planner

Map Creator is a professional mission planning tool for photogrammetry, mapping and inspection flights.
Create precise AGL (Above Ground Level) flight missions directly on the map with advanced elevation support and flexible grid geometries.

Mission Planning

Create, edit and visualize waypoints directly on the map:
- Flat 2D or true AGL missions with 3D elevation and triangulation
- Cross-grid and custom flight paths
- Adaptive pitch based on altitude
- Smooth flight path algorithms for safe and efficient missions

Mission Types

- 2D / AGL Grid Mission (cross paths supported)
- Orthophoto Cross Mission with elevation
- 3D Spherical Mission (double helix, adaptive pitch)
- Circle Mission with adaptive pitch
- Inception Mission
- Vertical Mission with elevation support

Elevation & Terrain Data
High-quality terrain data ensures precise AGL calculations for every waypoint:
Built-in elevation datasets (OpenTopoData):

- ASTER 30 m
- EU-DEM 25 m
- NED 10 m (North America)
- GPXZ

Advanced users:

- Local DEM server support (OpenTopoData, Swisstopo 2 m / 0.5 m, GeoTIFF)
- Per-waypoint AGL transformation using high-resolution terrain models

Import & Export
Maximum compatibility with industry-standard tools:

Export (high-resolution elevation for all waypoints)

- KMZ for DJI Pilot & DJI Fly
- KML for Google Maps & Map Creator import
- CSV for hdrpano, Litchi & Litchi Pilot

Import

- KML to add precise AGL to existing missions
- KMZ / WPML from DJI Pilot 2, DJI Fly or other providers

DJI Fly / Pilot Workflow

- Direct KMZ mission transfer using my DJIKMZInjector macOS/Windows
- Seamless integration with DJI remote controllers

iCloud Support

- Save and load missions via iCloud
- CSV-based mission storage for easy sharing and versioning

Compatibility

- CSV format fully compatible with Litchi Flight Hub
- Optimized for iOS 26 and macOS 26
