A Guide to the University of New Jersey’s Drone Zone Map
What if I told you that there is actually a Drone Zone Map on the market, where you can actually see all of the different areas that a DJI quadcopter can fly in? This is something that you may not know. While DJI makes some great quadcopters, they are also notorious for their difficult controls, and other issues. It is definitely not a good idea to fly a DJI when using a map, as you will just be putting yourself and others in danger. However, if you look into DJI’s new line of robots, then you might be in for a treat.
The new DJI mobile application allows you to download a free version of the drone zone map, which allows you to keep an eye on the boundaries of your “safe” flying area. You should use this when you are flying in restricted areas. Some of the apps out there such as DJI Skyliner Pro, let you do certain things, such as restricting flight to a certain altitude or speed. It is always wise to limit the number of flights you are doing, and be sure to communicate with the tower if you are above the prescribed altitude. In addition, make sure that you respect the area that the DJI map area extends to.
The DJI Skyliner Pro expands upon the capabilities already available in the DJI Mavic series and provides more capabilities in terms of functions. The software allows you to scan a specified area and have it flag your drone as being out of bounds, as well as allowing you to expand… well, expand! If you want to fly anywhere within the defined area… expand it! And while this is a cool function, you will definitely want to get the DJI Mavic before you purchase the Skyliner Pro.
Another company that offers drone zone maps out there is University of Newcastle upon Tyne. This company is not actually associated with the DJI, but they produce very high quality drones that are easy to fly, relatively inexpensive, and make great beginners flyers. You can buy these flyers right from their website, which offers some helpful tips on flying these flyers correctly. They also have a free course on how to fly a drone, which may be of interest to you if this is your first time trying this method.
Another app that may interest you is called droneect. This is an application that will allow you to see how different models will react to different obstacle courses. In addition, it lets you know the distance between points and the angle that it will fly in when you press the trigger. While we’re on the subject of dodging, this application lets you know how fast it will move as well as the direction that it is flying in. This means that you can definitely work up an intricate course without worrying about running into anyone or hurting anyone while you are out flying your mini 2.0.
The final program that we are going to talk about is called Arialon. This program enables you to take virtual measurements of different areas without using a transmitter. As a result, you will be able to see how the area you are flying in will look when you are finished. If you want to learn how to fly safely within the designated boundaries, then you should definitely give this program a try. It is especially useful for people who need to study how far they can go before they hit the area that they want to study. This is also a useful tool for all sorts of business owners, whether they are in the aviation industry or someone is looking to just keep an eye on their neighborhood when it comes to the local zoning regulations.
