Flight locations for creating a location asset can be defined by entering longitude and latitude coordinates or by clicking on the map and saving.
Route assets represent a planned route via waypoints. They can be created by clicking on a map or by uploading a KML file of your mission.
When you create a route within NOVA, you have the option to download the corresponding KML file. This is useful for re-creating the route in the future.
External tools like Google Earth can also be used to create KML files. Instructions can be found here (external link).
If you create KML files via a custom tool, please make sure to follow the KML standard. We expect that the route waypoints are provided within a <LineString>, which is expected to include an altitude reference and coordinates of the route. A minimal example is given below.
Currently, NOVA supports only relativeToGroundasaltitude mode.
