Mission Planner Verify Height does not use relative altitudes #475

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Create a mission that passes over a mountain, with Verify Height checked, and 
without Absolute Altitude checked. Set default altitude to be less than the 
height of the mountain. Verify your home position and altitude is lower than 
the mountain's peak.

2. Observe the warning when a waypoint is placed at a point on the mountain 
that is higher than the default alt.
3. Recreate the same mission, with absolute alt. and verify height checked. 
Observe that waypoints are now created with relative altitudes.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

As detailed here

751325 when absolute altitude is NOT selected, the altitudes are not adjusted, 
only a warning is displayed. This would appear not to be the desired behaviour. 
When Absolute Alt is checked, waypoint altitudes are relative to ground 
elevation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MP 1.1.17 (current as of this post). APM version is not relevant in this case.

Please provide any additional information below.
