    @Dave. This functionality exists already: configure ch7 as "save waypoint" and assign it to a switch of your radio. Then take your apm and tablet or laptop with mission planner and activate the switch of your radio each time you want a new waypoint. And Voila !

    Randy,

    Kevin Hester mentioned that he is planning on increasing the update rate to somewhere around 4Hz.

    Randy is right it keeps updating your position so it won't follow the exact course you take, if you stop it just loiters above you, been playing with this for a couple of weeks :-)

    @John,

         I'm pretty sure it works by just sending an updated position to guided mode every 2 seconds or so.  I guess the tablet could keep track of your position and just keep feeding it to the copter in order.

         I've heard some of the other things they're looking to add is a constant offset.  So you can do things like have it always hang out 5m west and 3m up from your current position.

    Thats awesome!  Now I want to see you test that feature on Usain Bolt or an olympic runner.  This would be perfect for a FPV of runners in olympic track events :)
