Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Flight plan with many waypoints

[Reto Büttner]

Hi Gautier,

thanks for the information. I have read the wiki. The maximum number
of waypoints is an interesting additional information.

The behaviour "precisely overfly the next waypoint in the direction of
the NEXT segment" is still not quite clear to me.

Cheers, Reto
