Worth noticing
Large captures are split into multiple waypoint missions to fit DJI Fly’s limit; the planner also counts photos, flight time, and batteries.

Field notes

The flight-planning flow accounts for waypoint limits by splitting large captures into multiple missions, and the page says it estimates photos, flight time, and batteries. For controller transfer, it describes keeping the previous mission, reading back the copied files for comparison, and listing each file against its mission. The sample map is described as about 1.5 cm per pixel; the site names OpenDroneMap as one option for processing the photos.
