Micheal, there is one suggestion for enhansement in APM Mission Planner and 
that is there should be provission to upload / write only those waypoints which 
are modified.

Suppose I have uploaded say 100 waypoints in the APM and I just shifted two 
waypoints from their original location. When I am writing for the modified 
waypoints, all the 100 waypoints are retransmitted by the Mission Planner. In 
the Waypoints list itself a small icon adjecent to Up & Down arrows, can be 
provided if a user presses this ison then only that waypoint should be written. 
This will reduce data overheads and will enhanse performance.

Currently there are no provisions to do this. A problem comes about if a user 
where to add 1 waypoints, everypoint after that would need to be reuploaded.

Hi Michael ! 
I am talking about if in a list of 100 already uploaded waypoints and the the 
user, just changes the lat long or alt of say 2 or 3 waypoints then while 
writing again the entire list of 100 waypoints should not be transmitted and 
only information pertaining to those affected waypoints should be transmitted.

This will reduce data overheads and hence chance of error.

regards

Rana

Single waypoint upload does not adhere to the MAVLink protocol.  We have 
decided to use the protocol and want minimal deviations from it for 
compatibility with a wide variety of GCS and other systems.  So this is not 
something we will do at this time.
