Description

In the Advanced Options, Grid Options tab, Overshoot should just be one option, and the same on each side of the polygon.

Overlap and Sidelap can be the same number as well, as long as they are area-wise, not length-wise. ie. 60% overlap means 60% of the area is the same, regardless of if it's on the side or the top of the sensor footprint.

Research direction

Start in Mission Planner's Advanced Options, Grid Options tab, and locate the controls and code handling Overshoot, Overlap, and Sidelap. Check how these values are represented for each polygon side and how area-based percentages are calculated; done means one shared Overshoot value and consistent area-wise Overlap and Sidelap values across the sensor footprint.
