New Feature
• Detailed searching
At last, focused searching has come to Drone Scene
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
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
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!
