Use case · Mapping & survey

Plan the grid around the battery, not the other way round.

Photogrammetry grids, construction-progress maps, corridor surveys, consistent altitude over a big footprint, on an aircraft with finite battery. Import your .csv, .kml, .kmz or .gpx mission and RangeSight checks the whole grid leg by leg before you commit.

The day, today

Big footprints, finite battery, and a re-flight costs a day.

A lawnmower pattern over acreage is a lot of line-kilometers. The spec-sheet number won't tell you if it fits.

Big footprints, finite battery

Acreage at survey overlap is a lot of line-kilometers. Fly it on faith and you might be sectoring it from the air.

Altitude vs. range

Fly lower for resolution and you fly more passes, and the trade-off has a range cost the spec sheet doesn't show.

A failed pass = a re-flight

Incomplete coverage means a return trip, a re-process, and an explanation. Better to know it fits first.

With RangeSight

Import the grid you already planned. Check it leg by leg.

Bring your .csv, .kml, .kmz or .gpx mission into RangeSight and the Mission Analysis Map Pro evaluates it segment by segment, with a return-home check at every waypoint, before you commit to it.

Every leg, checked

Import the grid, set the drone, altitude, battery and wind, and the Mission Analysis Map walks every leg: feasible at today's conditions? Still able to get home with reserve from each waypoint? It hands back the path risk-coloured, with the worst leg flagged.

Import your mission

Bring .csv, .kml, .kmz and .gpx missions into RangeSight so you're planning around the actual flight, not a guess at it.

Plan the sectors

When a grid won't fit one pack, the analysis shows you where it goes red, so you split the job there instead of finding the split point at low battery. The on-device Range Analysis Map gives you a quick "from here, what's reachable?" too.

Under the hood

The Mission Analysis Map · powered by RangeIQ+

The Mission Analysis Map is part of RangeSight Pro (free for 14 days), and the leg-by-leg analysis runs on RangeIQ+, our cloud feasibility engine, so it also needs a connection. RangeIQ+ is also available to developers as an API on noxdren.com. For developers

The flow

Plan → Import → Fly → Process.

Coverage you can count on the first time.

1

Plan

Drone + survey altitude + battery + wind, the site as launch point.

2

Import & analyse

Bring in your mission file; the Mission Analysis Map checks every leg and risk-colours the path.

3

Fly

Run the grid; sector it at the leg you flagged if needed.

4

Process

Complete coverage, no return trip for the strip you missed.

Pricing

Free covers the Range Analysis Map and mission import. The leg-by-leg analysis comes with Pro.

All 31 drone profiles, the Range Analysis Map and .csv/.kml/.kmz/.gpx import are free. Pro adds the leg-by-leg Mission Analysis Map (RangeIQ+), the Custom Drone Builder (mapping rigs aren't always in the list), payload weight support, one-tap live weather and offline map packs, the 14-day free trial, then $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr.
