The Question
How does the Live Map feature function during a mission, and how is the map generated in real-time within the Flight App?
The Answer
Live Map is a real-time mapping feature available within the Flight App that produces a low-resolution 2D map on your mobile device as the drone flies.
Real-Time Processing: As the drone captures images, the Flight App processes the data locally on the mobile device. This allows you to see the map appear instantly on the screen without an internet connection.
Sensor Compatibility: Live Map currently supports standard RGB sensors. It does not support thermal or multispectral sensors for real-time mapping.
Hardware Requirements: Because the processing happens on the mobile device, performance depends on the processing power of your device. Using a recommended high-performance iOS or Android device ensures the smoothest Live Map experience.
Visual Verification: Use Live Map to verify area coverage and identify immediate points of interest while the drone is still in the air.
