Drone Scene Updates - March 2025

New Feature :partying_face:

• Detailed searching

At last, focused searching has come to Drone Scene :sunglasses:

In the past you’ve only been able to perform a geographical search on the map. This was a service provide by mapping giants ESRI.

While it worked, it only allowed you to search for a town or postcode on the map, not for any flying locations that have been added to the map.

We’ve built a brand new search feature which now allows you to search for anything :partying_face:

On mobile devices, the new search panel is closed by default to save some valuable screen real estate so you’ll need to click the little + sign to expand this on your smartphone. This will reveal the new Search & Filter panel:

There are three search options available:

  • Locations
    – This searches all locations that people have added to the map

  • Members
    – This searches for all club members

  • Town, Postcode, POI, Coordinates
    – You get the idea :blush:


Searching for a location will give you a list of results that match either a full or partial search.

This searches all 2,900+ recommended locations to fly which are on the map.

Clicking on a search result will whisk your map directly to that location:


You can also now search for a club member by name to see if they’re on the map.

(Club members which are shaded out in grey have not added themselves to the map)

Clicking on a member name will whisk your map directly to the member you clicked on so you can quickly and easily see where they are based:


Searching for a town name, postcode, point of interest or a set of coordinates will perform a geographical search, rather than a flying recommendation location search.

In similar fashion, clicking on the town or POI search result will whisk your map directly to the place in question:

Happy searching!
