Maven app has just been updated again.
In this update we have included 2 new features that will greatly help you plan your mission
1) Above ground (altitude option)
2) define Mission “by Flight”
both new functions will help you define the mission where the heights of the terrain or the object you want to shoot are unknown to you.
Above the Ground:
The elevation information is taken from different internet database
Main Elevation Data Provider:
DEM Net Elevation API ( https://elevationapi.com )
using these digital elevation models:
NASADEM – https://doi.org/10.5067/MEaSUREs/NASADEM/NASADEM_HGT.001\
RTM_GL1 OpenTopography – https://opentopography.org/
“by Flight” Tutorial
Complete Maven 3.8 change log:
- Added “Above The Ground” altitude option
- Added the ability to save waypoints directly from the drone position
- Added “+” annotation before first waypoint and after the last waypoint for faster mission modification
- Added a label with the distance to the POI in the waypoint settings
- Added a button to change the map from standard images to satellite images in mission settings
- Improved the responsiveness of the app when adding waypoints
- Increased responsiveness when selecting waypoint with a tap
- Fixed an issue that can sometimes cause too loud sound to be played when a waypoint is added
- Fixed an issue that caused the drone to remain hovering at the first waypoint in some situations
I love the latest upgrade the whole flight is much smoother and I havent noticed any glitches, I love the idea of Waypoints whilst in flight.
can you please explain the above ground altitude option I dont quite understand
