Plan View - Rally Points

Rally Points are alternative landing or loiter locations. They are typically used to provide a safer or more convenient (e.g. closer) destination than the home position in Return/RTL mode.

INFO

QGroundControl will not display the Rally Point options if they are not supported by the connected vehicle firmware.

Rally Point Usage

To create Rally Points:

  1. Navigate to the Plan View
  2. Select the Rally Points layer using the Layer Switcher in the top-right area of the map (or expand the Rally Points section in the Plan Editor Panel)
  3. Click the map wherever you want rally points.
    • An R marker is added for each
    • The currently active marker has a different color (green) and its editor is expanded in the Rally Points section.
  4. Make any rally point active by selecting it on the map or in the Rally Points section:
    • Move the active rally point by either dragging it on the map or editing the position fields in its editor.
    • Delete a rally point by pressing the X delete button on its editor.

Upload Rally Points

Rally points are uploaded along with the rest of the plan using the Upload button in the Plan Toolbar.
