DroneMate is a regularly updated map of the recreational drone laws for every country in the world. The information is pulled from official sources and contacts so you know where you can fly, the rules to abide by, and the places where you should leave your drone at home. DroneMate can save you time, money, and hassle at customs as many countries (even major tourist destinations) won't let you bring a drone into the country. The map is available offline so you don’t need an Internet connection to use DroneMate when you’re traveling. *U.S. state laws are also included. *The information is pulled from official sources - there is a lot of misinformation about drone rules and laws floating online - DroneMate gives you a clear listing of the laws, rules, and places where they haven't been completely defined yet. *Shows information for specific cities, touristic sights, and other areas where drone use has special rules or restrictions. *DroneMate is updated regularly in real-time with information obtained from a number of official sources. *DroneMate has a user comment system where travelers can add their experiences droning, importing, and dealing with authorities in each specific country. The comments are useful in situations where the authorities themselves are confused or unaware of the laws, non-common situations, and other anecdotes that can help other travelers. *Users can also post questions in the comment section for other travelers or the administrator. *All comments are rated by other users, so the most useful, informative responses are highlighted on top of the others.
