No, you shouldn't see a map. There used to be one, but they made some slight changes to their model recently so all those 'spec' missions that you could select from a map of your area are gone....there are apparently no 'pano' missions either. Instead, their just handing out regular RE missions...

I'd suggest investing in one of those safety cages that you see at 'InterDrone' and other events that they use to demo drones indoors.Seems to me that you might be asking for trouble letting any novice fly a drone for the first time without spending considerable training time up front, which...

I have a FB product page registered under my company's name and a personal page that's not. On that personal page, I've engaged in many political debates, some resulting in a good deal of acrimony. I've never had problems from FB. Bottom line...this feels like a cautionary tail with this note...

They've also added these new Insurance missions (Eaglebase) However, they generally pay about $70 for a mission that requires about 60-70 stills and a lot of special rules and requirements. I don't have a problem with the scope of the job, but the time and effort to meet all the requirements and...
