Multiple drones in one map
Hello. I am new here. I have read the posts about flying two drones on the same map, but this approach is manual. Is there no support for sharing maps between multiple drones and have automatically work sharing, so you start different places and crisscross over the site assigning the work as they go?
I do a lot of work in Europe in densely populated areas or in active working construction sites. It is a lot easier to use mini drones for this work due to legislation and red tape but they take longer to do the work. If I used several drones I could do the work better and faster than an enterprise drone without the safety hazards they come with and I can do my work practically all over without having to make any warnings publicly.
If not, how many drones can I have working on a mission - or map - in Dronelink?

Not sure if I fully understand the question but I’ll try to help. You can only fly one drone at a time with the DL app. I believe either a Growth or Enterprise account would be what you will need. You can add additional pilots/users to that account and they can use any of the same plans you have or any other different plan in that account and fly them at the same time. So basically one pilot could fly a map section to cover part of the area and the other pilot can fly a seperate map section to cover another area at same time. As long as you have additional users added to the account they can use the DL app on a separate device and fly any plan you have saved. I’d suggest emailing them for assistance and see what would work best for your situation.

Ok. So each drone needs a separate map. No automation by sharing one map between them. Well - maybe this could be a future feature. My intention was not to have multiple pilots but to one pilot to manage several small drones at once. Still doable and something I can get passed with a SORA in EU.

Not sure what you mean by each drone needing a separate map. You can share/ use the same mapping mission. Of course flying the same mapping mission won’t make the work go faster. You would need to create a separate map component for each drone to cover a different area and fly them at the same time. Dronelink works the same as the Manufactures app in the way it connects and controls the drone. Only one drone can be connected to the controller/device at a time. The difference is the DL app just gives you the ability to fly fully automated missions without any input from the pilot. Each drone needs a controller/device and a pilot. I’d email them for more info and assistance.
