Why Scribble Maps for Aviation & Drones

Mission areas in minutes

Draw flight areas, mark waypoints and outline survey grids on satellite imagery. No CAD program, no specialized software.

Brief the team on a link

Share a pre-flight map with the pilot, observer and client. They open it in a browser. No install, no account.

Bring data from anywhere

Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or GPX. Layer airspace files, no-fly zones and existing mission boundaries onto a single map.

Built for Aviation & Drones teams

A drone survey area drawn as a polygon with launch, landing, and waypoint markers and a measured perimeter

Drone mission planning

Outline the survey area, mark launch and landing points, drop waypoints and check distances against battery range.

A client-facing pre-flight map with the planned flight area, property boundary, and deliverable zones marked

Pre-flight briefings and client maps

Build a clean, branded map for the client packet with the planned flight area, deliverables zone and any property boundaries.

Frequently asked questions

Does Scribble Maps include airspace data?

Scribble Maps focuses on planning and visualization rather than live airspace. Always cross-check airspace, NOTAMs and authorizations with your country's civil aviation authority before flying.

Can I import a KML of an airspace boundary?

Yes. Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or GPX. Layer airspace, no-fly zones and existing mission boundaries onto your plan.

Can I export waypoints to my flight controller?

Yes. Export waypoints as GPX or KML for use in most flight controller and ground station software.

Can I share a map with the client before the shoot?

Yes. Click Share and copy the link. Clients open it in any browser. No install, no account.
