Figure 72: Viewing elevation maps while flying
When the Elevation overlay is enabled, the map will display a colorized elevation map of
the nearby region and a legend that indicates what elevation above mean sea level the colors
correspond to, as shown in Figure 72. If you are flying, then the legend will also display the
elevation of the home point, the drone, and the terrain directly below the drone. In Figure
72, these are the white “H” in a yellow circle at 1155.3 m, the red drone icon at 1344.7 m,
and the black drone icon (representing the drone’s shadow) at 1219.9 m, respectively.
The app will automatically reload a larger region of elevation maps if you fly too close
to the edge of the currently loaded region, or place waypoints outside the current region.
Additionally, the app will automatically attempt to download elevation maps for the region
you are flying in if you have an internet connection, and have not already downloaded
elevation maps for that region.
We would like to note that once the app leaves open beta, this automatic downloading of
elevation maps from our servers will become a feature that must be paid for. It is provided
for free during open beta for testing.
