Proposed feature: Output DJI-compatible kmz waypoint mission files from mission planner #121

Description

@tr0043t

Since there are now apps that simplify the previously complicated task of transferring mission KMZ waypoint files from external sources to the DJI Fly app, it would be great if ArduDeck could create these files from the mission planner as an output file type.

These kmz extension files are simply zipped files containing a "wpmz" folder and two files within that folder. One is template.kml which never changes and is the same for all DJI kmz files. The other is waylines.wpml that contains the actual waypoint data. The DJI documentation for the format of the waylines.wpml file is:

https://developer.dji.com/doc/cloud-api-tutorial/en/api-reference/dji-wpml/waylines-wpml.html

I've attached a sample DJI-compatible kmz file that includes a number of waypoints. This mission is designed to use straight vectors, rather than the curved splines that DJI Fly uses (DJI Fly cannot natively create other than curved spline vectors). Note that I've used the extension ".txt" since github will not permit .kmz uploads. Of course the file must ultimately be renamed to .kmz extension.
