Creating Mission Boundaries with Google Maps For Enterprise Drones

1. Introduction and Equipment Needed

   • Use Google Maps to create mission boundaries for drones like Mavic, Matrice 30T, or M350.

   • Equipment needed: controller, microSD card (128GB or less), computer, thumb drive.

2. Creating Boundaries on Google Maps

   • Open Google Maps, click on the menu (three lines), go to saved, then Maps, and create a new map.

   • Choose a base map and switch to satellite view for better mapping.

   • Organize and name maps and layers for better filtering and organization.

3. Mapping Out Fields

   • Add layers for different maps within a mission.

   • Name and map out fields by drawing lines or shapes on the map.

   • Close off shapes, name them, and save them for each field.

4. Exporting Maps

   • Click on the layer, select export data, choose KML or KMZ format, and download the file.

   • Transfer the downloaded files to a microSD card using a computer.

5. Importing Maps to the Drone Controller

   • Insert the microSD card into the drone controller.

   • Import the maps by clicking on flight route, then import route, and select the KMZ or KML file.

   • Choose the area route for mapping missions and rename the imported missions for clarity.

6. Finalizing Mission Import

   • Save the imported missions with appropriate names for easy reference.

   • Repeat the process for importing additional missions or changing parameters as needed.

7. Conclusion

   • Reach out for assistance if needed.

   • Successfully create and import mission boundaries for drone operations.
