FAA maps for Drones

JB

There are several services, many free, to show where it is permissible to fly a drone.  I use several (Airmap, B4UFLY, Drone Buddy, Kittyhawk, etc.  However it can be difficult to use Gaia to select a driving/camping/hiking route then cross reference with these apps to see if drones are allowed to fly there.  Having it as another layer within Gaia would be perfect.  Otherwise I'm trying to follow road names and intersections and many times those drone apps do not have a great level of detail for smaller forest service roads or trail names.  I looked for TMS map tiles to import but haven't been successful yet in finding reputable sources.

    I'd love to see a drone map layer as well!

    You can add me to the list of people wanting this map.

    Most of the places I travel have poor to non existent internet/cellular service making it impossible to use any of the drone mapping services listed by to original poster. Many times I am near the edge of a National Park and need to figure out if I can legally fly my drone or not.

    +1 for the FAA drone map.  We can use the B4UFly app, but that's not good if you're outside cell coverage, and it is another step.  I'd like to have this info as a map layer in Gaia so we can have all the info we need for legal offraod trails and legal airspace all in one place.  Come on, Gaia!
