A quick range-envelope check for unfamiliar flying locations.

New launch points, unfamiliar terrain, that ridge you've been eyeing: flying somewhere new is the fun part. The free Range Analysis Map gives you a modeled view of how wind, battery state, and reserve settings shape reach before you take off. Free. No account.

The day, today

You know your home field by heart. Somewhere new, it's harder to judge.

And the stuff that's harder to judge (wind, terrain, a tired pack) is the stuff that affects expected return margin.

New spot, no feel for it

Your home field's range is muscle memory. A new launch point, over unfamiliar ground, is harder to judge by eye.

Wind changes the math

A breeze that's nothing on the way out is a wall on the way back. Tailwind out, headwind home, and the spec-sheet number reflects neither.

Battery age shifts the numbers

An older pack doesn't have the range the label says. Worth knowing before you fly over water or a canyon.

With RangeSight

See the modeled reach anywhere, not just your usual spot.

Your range isn't a circle. The free Range Analysis Map, in your pocket.

See the reach here, not there

Pick your drone, set the battery, drop a pin, and the Range Analysis Map's wind-shaped envelope shows what's modeled as reachable from this spot, with this terrain, today. Planning a longer route? Import it and the Mission Analysis Map Pro evaluates it leg by leg.

See the wind's effect

Pull live conditions (Pro) or enter them by hand, and watch the envelope stretch downwind and pull in upwind: a modeled range, not a circle.

Account for battery age

Log the cycle count and the estimate adjusts for it, and a built-in reserve keeps the rings on the conservative side.

The flow

Plan → Predict → Fly → Come home.

Thirty seconds before you take off in a new place.

1

Plan

Your drone, the current battery level, the new spot as your launch point.

2

Predict

RangeSight draws the wind-shaped envelope on the map.

3

Fly

Explore inside it, that ridge, that shoreline, that field.

4

Come home

With the reserve you planned for, not the one you hoped for.

Pricing

Free is genuinely enough for most weekend flying.

The Range Analysis Map and all 31 drone profiles cost nothing, no account, no ads, no catch. Pro is worth it once you plan longer routes or explore further out: the leg-by-leg Mission Analysis Map (RangeIQ+), one-tap live weather, offline map packs for the back-country, the Custom Drone Builder, and saved home locations for your regular spots. It's a 14-day free trial, then $12.99/mo or $99/yr.
