7.18 Drawing Map Annotations
The app allows you to make your own map overlays and export them as kmz files. Touch
the pencil icon at the top of the fly screen to open the drawing tools menu and enable
drawing on the map. The next sections describe each tool from left to right.
7.18.1 Flight Path Drawing
Figure 7.18.1: Using the drone to draw a line on the map. The color was changed from
red to yellow mid-way through.
The leftmost tool with the snaking arrow icon is the flight path drawing tool. Touch it to
open a submenu where you can select from a few colors, or also no color. Touch one of the
colors to select that color. When a color is selected, the drone will leave a mark on the map
of the selected color as it flies around, as shown in Figure 7.18.1. Select a different color to
start drawing in the new color, or select no color to stop drawing the flight path.
Only a limited palette of colors are available to choose from. We designed this palette to
contrast against the green vegetation in the satellite imagery, and to be distinguishable
from the other colors in the palette by people with common kinds of color blindness. To
enhance contrast against the map, we add a thin black outline to each line. If you would like
to use these colors in overlays you make with other tools for consistency, the sRGB
hexadecimal values are as follows:
