1.4 Set Up the Waypoint Defaults

In preparation for placing the waypoints that will define the search pattern for the ROV to follow, it is important to set up the defaults that will be applied to each waypoint.

Waypoints can be edited after they have been placed, either singly or in groups.

Recommended Settings

Parameter	Value
Waypoint Name	As desired
Waypoint Color	As desired
Waypoint Tolerance	2 m (6 ft)
Heading	No items checked
Waypoint Z Value	Typically 1 - 3 m (5 - 10 ft, but not less then 1 , (3 ft))
Depth/Altitude	Typically Altitude
Speed	0.5 m/s (1.5 - 2 ft/s)

Altitude should not be less than 1 m (3 ft).

Speed should be reduced at lower altitudes or in reduced visibility to avoid impacting the bottom or objects sticking up from the bottom.
