These days interests are focused on nerding out drone use. For this reason, it is important to understand the drone flying tip checklist as a beginner.
Geoinfotech drone training and services are for everyone, you don’t need to be an expert to fly one. For beginners who have an interest in flying drones, we guarantee a rewarding experience at the successful completion of the training course.
A drone flying tip checklist for a beginner entails having a good knowledge of the drone courses either through videos or via drone photography tips. Which can be online or via physical training taken by an experienced trainer.
And of course like airplanes drone crash too. This may follow suit due to inadequate training practices or issues resulting from a poor pilot error during preflight.
In most of our training, we ensure the use of a particular kind of care and expertise. Like proposing the incorporation of drones to improve the way we collect information, especially around unlicensed and unlawful waste operations.
Every drone trainer must be guided by the following before flying a drone:
- For every country, there are specific laws that regulate the use of UAVs.
- Strictly adhere to every important detail in the drone manual.
- Check your drone for defects prior to and after each flight (preflight and post-flight assessment)
- For flying safely, it is advised to put the drone in beginner mode while practicing in an open space.
- To avoid staking out from your flight area, take note of flight hazards.
- Installation of batteries and propellers should be done.
- Make sure you turn on the remote controller and connect to the drone to avoid unnecessary delay.
- If you using a GPS, use the remote controller paired to the drone to check the quality of the drone’s GPS signal reception.
- Understand micro weather conditions to ensure compatibility with your drone before flying.
To ensure safety reasons, it is advisable to set a geofence and pre-flight checklist before every drone flight.

How Geoinfotech relates cartography in the GIS environment
Over the years, Geoinfotech relates cartography in the GIS environment helping us in mapping the world in a conformal projection.
Cartography as a science was not established until the German geographer Max Eckert (1868–1938) published his two volumes on “map science” that marked the birth of cartography as an independent discipline and science (Eckert 1921, 1925).
As a young science and confronted with major technological developments in the late 20th-century cartography underwent several crises as to what exactly is cartography and how it relates to other spatial sciences, in particular to geographic information systems
What then does cartography entail;
Cartography is the science and technique of producing maps and map-related products. These products are digital or analog models of (a virtual) reality.
Why do GIS and cartography complement each other?
Geographic information systems (GIS), the ultimate culmination of cartography and modern technology, allow us to map our world like never before: from rendering 3D oceanic base maps to finding the nearest dry cleaner.
Cartography and geographic information systems both influence each other, but mapping may get the best of the relation. GIS technology promises to transform cartography by changing what gets mapped, what form maps take, who makes and uses maps, and how maps are used. We can also expect better tailoring of maps to user needs and characteristics. In the process, all involved will have to pay closer attention to the nature of cartographic representation.
At Geoinfotech relating cartography and GIS can be best visualized from a practical point of view. One of the modes of GIS is the cartographic one, but this is mostly given in the context of applications and not necessarily as an objective reality. Computer-Assisted Mapping (CAM) has a specific production objective but lacks the analytical capacities of a GIS. On its part, GIS includes cartographic capacities, which being important have not the same weight as the analytical. However, GIS depends basically on cartography for data capture, which in many cases has to be converted to a digital format, structured and put into a database, processed as required, and finally given some sort of output.
However, neither of them is to be ignored in its importance for the visualization of spatial objects and phenomena in this recent times. In this article, Geoinfotech further shows the advantages and disadvantages of cartography using GIS.
Advantage of cartography using GIS
-
Create maps semi-automatically
-
Manage layers
-
Symbolize data
-
Label maps with text and graphics automatically
-
Layout and print maps
-
Work with styles and symbols
-
Look at data with graphs
-
Create reports
-
Query maps
The disadvantage of cartography using GIS
-
Classification: The classification tools included in the most current GIS package allow quick and easy classing schemes. This can lead to inappropriate choices because no significant experimentation is needed. Another factor to consider is the number of classes: the default number of classes in the GIS package is frequently too high: nine or ten, whereas five or six classes, are enough.
-
Text Placement: Labelling points, lines and polygons automatically is often imprecise or cartographically false. Overposting (labeling for one feature placed on top of labeling for another feature), bad polygon labeling (on left/center/right) are other placement, are classic errors.
-
Colour schemes: Often the default color schemes are qualitative, this can be a real problem for
choropleth mapping (which uses quantitative data).
