This release uses open source data from openstreetmap. Data from Ordnance Survey Digimap can also be used, with appropriate coordinate transformations.
The bristol_example_osm
notebook works through the example, including installation instructions for Python dependencies.
The example does not imply permission to fly in the locations shown. While the software is intended to promote safe drone flight, use of this software does not in itself guarantee safe or legal drone operation. Follow the drone code.
