* Interactive Point Annotations: You can now set altitudes for point annotations and send your drone directly to any chosen point. The position and altitude will be auto-filled, streamlining your mission planning process.
* Annotate using range finder: Enhance your annotations with precise distance measurements using the M30s range finder.
