Define flight plan with shapefile?

Hi @MBlacklin can you share with us the file you are trying to upload? There is a known bug currently that will not display an error message instead it freezes the sidebar. We are working on to fix that.

Hi All, we heard your feedback and are excited to share that today we released shapefile planning to all DD users. You can learn more here: http://support.dronedeploy.com/docs/shapefile-planning

Give us feedback and help us improve by sharing shapefiles that doesnā€™t work.

Where can I send the file, Manu?

Hi guys,

Unfortunately not all shapefiles work. If you have a very complex one it will more likely not work, especially if it has multiple shapes. Weā€™ve had this feature on for about a hundred people for 6 months or so and have seen it successful for the majority but unfortunately given the complexity of the shapefile format it hasnā€™t worked for everyone.

If you can send us the files that have problems to support@dronedeploy.com we can investigate if there is a way to help you.
