Oh, man... Need me this.

At this point, I can't say either way. It's too confusing. Seems like it depends on who you ask ?

I spoke with Denver and Houston FSDO's and am happy to report that they are both under the impression that you can still fly at night under 101. One thing I hate is vague law open to interpretation by various sources. I fall under 107, so my regs are clear, but Hobbyists don't seem to be...

Not quite as high tech. '97

Seems to be back up now.

Great. Thanks.

Did you try to submit a flight plan or just open the app?

Also tried turning it off and turning it back on, again.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not getting an update prompt, nor am I able to manually update via google play. Mine actually opens fine, but I keep getting server timeouts and have tried going with just mobile data and also running off the 4G hotspot I have. Not sure what's up, but I'm not...

I'd say that if we think in terms of delivery services like Amazon, you'd be correct. They'll see hobbyists and small businesses as competition for airspace. The consumer drone manufacturers want their drones sold, so they're going to have to do the lobbying and the fighting... But big money...

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone tried to use AirMap today? Any problems?

Have you seen Slaughterbots? 6:48 up on the screen behind the presenter ... This is obviously only a partial list. With a little bit of imagination, you can see how human terrain mapping can be leveraged. This video kept me up for 3 whole days. It's a revelation. I have a whole...

Fair enough, but imagine this: Hacker drone lands on your roof, hacks into your wifi, and then starts collecting data from your phone, computer, and TV. Wouldn't you like to know who it is? Or imagine this: you wake up, scratch, start the coffee maker, and walk outside to get the paper in...

Sorry, that made me LOL. You might as well dispense with the idea that your personal data is going to be protected. It seems like I get a letter ever year or so where some company apologies for "losing" my personal info in a hack. The Office of Personnel Management even lost my data. That's...

Seems to me like it would be a simple programming solution. An easy fix for compliance of consumer drones. Off the grid flying will need some other type of internet connection. Another type of device, but that sounds like a business opportunity rather than a problem.
