    Looks quite handy. I'll get my Java figured out and take a look. Thanks

    A couple good hard cases, suggestions please?

    Better than any Pelican, that's a bold statement. What is it about the Nanuks that you like better than the Pelicans? I use Pelicans for many applications and have never been let down. I'm interested to hear your perspective.

    A hard case was critical for what I do so I went with the Pelican 1400. I can fit the drone, controller, 2 extra batteries, car charger, and spare parts. I know the drone will travel safely inside the pelly!

    Video's you wish people would stop making?

    I never did understand the unboxing stuff. I'm not sure how this became a thing? Personally, unboxing the mavic was about as good as it gets for this "mature" adult, but can't see how that can be equally exciting to complete strangers.

    Video's you wish people would stop making?

    How to use kmz file to create flight plan?

    If my clients can provide a tracklog, or gps boundary in kmz format, can I develop a flight plan? What is the procedure to take that file and program a flight plan, throw the mavic in the air and let it fly that pattern? I believe that you can set waypoints using the google map, however I'd...

    Canada: "Don't fly in populated areas"

    I find the rules/regs for flying in Canada quite vague. Don't fly near peaple, animals, or vehicles, higher than 300 feet, near airports. Always keep in eye sight of the drone, and do not rely on monitoring devices.... so essentially, buy a litehawk and fly it in your basement when the kids...

    Alternative Maps

    It is possible for me to use a .pdf map with geo referencing to navigate my MP? My clients provide me with a .pdf map of my contract work which provides a lot of valuable information, including site boundaries. It would be a great tool to be able to fly these areas and gather information from...
