Description

In the AutoWP Survey mission there is an option for changing the speed which does not create a DO_CHANGE_SPEED as I had expected. Could this option be added? This value could actually default to the current WP_NAV_SPEED and then the user can change it at will. If it is changed then you could create a DO_CHANGE_SPEED after TAKEOFF and set it back to what it was before the LAND command. I have my current speed set very high but when doing surveys I would like to slow it down to prevent excessive breaking at waypoints.

Thanks for the consideration.

Regards,
Maurice

Research direction

Start by locating the AutoWP Survey mission implementation and its handling of WP_NAV_SPEED, TAKEOFF, LAND, and DO_CHANGE_SPEED. Trace how survey mission commands are generated, then define completion as applying the selected survey speed during the mission and restoring the prior speed before LAND, with coverage for the generated command sequence.
