Drone Zones : Map Hack 3.0 + Redeem Codes

2 stars for the initiative, but at the moment it seems useless for me. I can only search for places to fly (using the discover feature) where my current location is! It would be nice to be able to see places where I want to go instead, but typing the place/city on the search bar doesn't allow that, it simply is a shortcut to create a point. Also a list of all the places registered would be nice. I will be adding my places and contributing, and hopefully this gets fixed and the app becomes useful. The idea is great and has all my support.

Interesting - I’ve got two apps on my iPhone to try and help with these type of functions.

Hover, Drone Buddy and Drone Zones

Drone Buddy does a better job of showing no-fly zones.

Drone Zones ATTEMPTS to allow you to identify and score places to fly the quad.

Both have major weaknesses (I”m out in Las Vegas and just looking for good safe interesting places to fly)..

Few key weaknesses with Drone Zones:

1) Really wish there was an easier way to see “distance” between one place and another.
2) Need a way to get an actual address to come up
3) Need a way to push the address to a map tool (google maps / wake / etc.) so I can find out how far and directions to that location.

Bottom line, my process should be.

1) Pull up map
2) Search for locations close to where I am
3) View ratings (I like what Drone Zones does with allowing you to score based upon landing areas, view, etc.)
4) Ensure that the locations are outside of No Fly Zones
5) Pull up other Flight related data
6) Determine distance between where I am and the location both as crow flies and by driving

This app was born with a good intention. But while the owners does not curate the content/ posts it will be crap. There Is a lot of silly people posting useless places, without any valid info. Or the owner take some serious attitude or this app is not to be taken seriously.

This version has problems locating me. First version was fine.
Wish list:
1. Show all drop pins that correspond to the entire map shown on the screen.
2. Allow the original drop pin author to edit his/her original drop pin to add pictures or updates.

It was easy to find the app, sign in, and allow location... Very simple to add a pin and tag a picture with the location. However, when refreshing, I can't see any of my own pinned places, or anyone else's pinned locations. Please fix!

This works well but there's a new app called Where2fly that I prefer. It has a better looking interface... But on the other hand it's just starting out so there's not as many locations. All in all I prefer where2fly over this app!

This app will be amazing...as long as it will allow you to create an account so that you can submit locations. Please fix this, because the app is it useful in any way unless this problem is fixed.

Location working now! Satelite view is great improvement. App is running way better.

Don't know how good this is it won't even let me register, I follow instructions even emailed them and was told use more letter nope oh well. One pop up said use all letters next pop up said use letters and numbers.

Hell this amazing idea grow you need to be able to go to diff locations other then yours
