## Mission Planning

- Allows planning (and saving/loading) autonomous missions
- Allows mission control
For vehicles with a position estimate, `Mission Planning` mode (in the sidebar) can be used to create basic
autonomous missions, and load a mission from a file.

Planning can involve placing individual waypoints and generating basic surveys,
including multiple survey regions with manually placed waypoints between them:

{{ easy_image(src="mission-creation", width=200, center=true) }}
{{ easy_image(src="mission-planning", width=600, center=true) }}

{% note() %}
Waypoints are currently limited to basic motion targets, but will soon be able to trigger custom
MAVLink commands and other actions.
{% end %}

Once the mission is ready it can be uploaded to the vehicle, or saved to a file for later, before exiting
mission planning via the `Flight` button in the sidebar:

{{ easy_image(src="mission-sidebar", width=150, center=true) }}

Starting the mission is done using the play button in the bottom left corner of a [Map widget](#map).
