Drone Map Helper
Engineering school project
Introduction
The idea behind this application is to differentiate the different areas where it is allowed to fly his drone areas where it is prohibited in Switzerland.
Reliable data from the Swiss Confederation are used, as well as live weather data, to enhance and better organize your next flights.
This app was developed during the GeoInf course at the High School of Engineering and Management of Yverdon-les-Bains. While this project explanations are in English, the content is displayed in French exclusively.
You can test this app using this link (works better on desktop).

Map legends
In addition to the layers, you can display two legends. These legends make it possible to better interpret the "Relative humidity" and "Precipitation intensity" layers.
