How To Move The Entire Route In UgCS

Hey, DIYDrones community,

We've had the request to implement a feature that allows moving the entire UgCS route.

This feature is coming, however, in the meanwhile, we have developed a script that allows you to move the entire route with ease.

The script is available on GitHub here: https://github.com/ugcs/converters/tree/master/moveRoute

To use it, you need to supply the following arguments to it:
- UgCS route or mission full name
- New latitude for the first route or mission waypoint
- New longitude for the first route or mission waypoint

The coordinates should be in decimal format.
Then run one of the following commands:

!moveRoute.cmd c:\test\myroute.xml 22.42929880348565 114.1145629706805

cscript c:\test\moveRoute.js c:\test\myroute.xml 22.42929880348565 114.1145629706805

This script works on Windows.

Safe flights,

Hi, Keeyen! After the mission the drone stays at the last waypoint because in some cases there are obstacles in the way if it attempted to fly straight to the home location. This is why we enable the user to choose when the drones goes home by the "Return Home" button. Not all autopilots support auto takeoff and landing, please refer to the manual for more in-depth information.

I start trying to use this GCS software with DJI Woo Kong, I'm very surprise to find out that after mission completed, the drone stay at the last way point instead of RTH. Home location must be set manually. It is nice to be able to set manually as an option but most of the time we just need it to go back to where it started. It also not support auto take off and landing. Is this the current status of the program or I miss somethings ?
