Façade inspection drone mission planner for walls, bridges and rock faces
Draw a line in front of a wall and get a vertical lawnmower of rows at a fixed standoff – for façade inspection, bridge girders, ship hulls, rock faces and street fronts.
What MavicMapper plans for you
- Rows: lowest and highest row, distance to the wall and gimbal pitch; row and photo spacing follow from the overlap.
- Surface GSD is calculated at the wall, not on the ground.
- Capture: stop & shoot or continuous glide along each row.
- Any line: straight walls or bent fronts – the path is offset along the whole polyline.

Frequently asked questions
Can I plan façade missions for DJI Fly for free?
Yes. MavicMapper is free, runs offline on Windows and exports DJI Fly waypoint missions (KMZ, WPML) for the Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Mini 4 Pro and Lito X1.
Which drones are supported?
DJI Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Mini 4 Pro and Lito X1 – all with native DJI Fly waypoint missions. The camera, speed, wind, gimbal and battery limits of the selected drone are used in every calculation.
How do I get the mission onto my controller?
Upload it over USB with one click (ADB or Windows MTP) to the DJI RC Pro, RC 2 or an Android phone – or import the KMZ by hand into a placeholder mission in DJI Fly.
