Hoverpoint has launched
The app is here: Hoverpoint is available now, free of charge, on Google Play and in the App Store.
How modern flight planning works
From geozones to sun position – every piece of information that matters, in a single app.
Everything you need for modern drone planning
Plan more precisely with footprint display, geozones, weather analysis, sun position and automatic NOTAM interpretation.
No more guesswork about your framing
See exactly on the map which frame your camera captures at the current altitude and with the drone model you have chosen – for perfectly planned top-down shots.
Always fly on the safe side
Every airspace restriction and geozone in Germany at a glance. Including plain-language requirements and the official legal texts.
Never be caught out by the weather
Check wind speeds at different altitudes, weather trends and drone-specific warnings before you spin up the propellers.
Finally understand NOTAMs
The app analyses complex and temporary aeronautical notices fully automatically and turns them into clear, readable English.
The perfect light for your subject
Do not leave good light to chance. Plan your shots to the second, based on sun position, shadows and the golden hour.
Light conditions at a glance
The interactive sun overlay on the map shows you, right at your location, which direction the light for your next subject comes from.
You are planning a survey mission for a client
From your desk you drag the camera footprint straight onto the map – at exactly the altitude and drone model you will be flying. That way you see in advance whether your flight lines deliver the overlap you need for a clean orthophoto, instead of finding out on site.
You are somewhere new and want to know right away whether you may fly
One look at the map is enough: geozones, control zones and nature reserves are visible immediately, with the matching legal notes one click away – no more wading through legislation before take-off.
You do not want to miss the perfect moment of light
Instead of hoping on the day that the light works out, you see during planning where the sun stands at which time and where the shadows fall. That way you hit the golden hour precisely – without driving out again for nothing.
