Feature request: terrain map and airspace handling

[IB0S]

Hi! I know this would be a long term feature plan. But it would be really nice if SkyDrop could handle terrain (topography) maps and airspace files (like OpenAir (.txt)). These two would allow:

• Precise auto calibration of altitudes at start, based on topography maps and GPS (really convenient way)
• Airspace warnings and widgets (approaching horizontally and vertically, max altitude, alt. left etc.)
• Navigation, tasks and way-points (calculating with topography, airspace and flying attributes like current altitude)
• ...

(These two features could be separated into two stages and I guess airspace handling would be the smaller to implement.)

What do you think? :)

• Precise auto calibration of altitudes at start, based on topography maps and GPS (really convenient way) can be done and it is on the list
• Airspace warnings and widgets (approaching horizontally and vertically, max altitude, alt. left etc.) we will see if the device can handle this
• Navigation, tasks and way-points (calculating with topography, airspace and flying attributes like current altitude) can be done and it is on the list
