What's the limit on number of waypoints?

Config%20Tool%20106%20points.gifAnyone know what the max number of waypoints you can add to the ArduPilot? Here's a quick and easy 106 points setup in about 2 minutes.Download Here: ConfigTool.zipFor those of you who'd like to mess around with my changes, I've posted the compiled application. I'm working with Jordi and will be happy to post the source once we've added a few more things.Right now, typing values in the grid doesn't do anything and neither does editing the "home" location (at the top left).Just unzip both files into a directory and run the exe.

    Can those people with issues seeing the map tell me the OS and version of IE they have on their PC?

    HappyKillmore: the new version looks great! So pleased that you've taken this on.

    People who don't see the map may be using Vista and didn't give the app access to the web when the warning came up.

    It looks fantastic! Thanks for all of your hard work!
    One thing, could you possibly add an option to change the unit of Total Mission Distance from miles to metres or kilometres?
    Also, in the altitude column, could you change the title from "Altitude" to "Altitude (m)" or "Relative Altitude (m)" ?
    Cheers,
    Nick

    I continue to post updates. The delete waypoint is working along with zoom and editing of waypoint values in the grid.... plus changing the home position values. Now on to the registry and load/saving files!

    I was thinking about this the other day ad that imaged just reminded me of that thought... is anyone using UAVs for open source mapping? Images taken by them could replace images from satellites.

    Waypoints are stored in EEPROM and the Atmega328 has 1k of that. I seem to recall that it's 8 bytes per waypoint, so that would be a max of 125 waypoints.

    Yes, I'm working on that. I've also just added the ability to type in the grid to edit points.... now to work on saving & loading!
