There's only one city in America that isn't on Google's Street View. Documentary filmmaker Chris Parr set out to map it, using North Oak, Minnesota's byzantine rules and the help of a drone. His experience shows who gets privacy in America, and who doesn't.

A couple of years ago I was invited to a UiT (University of the Arctic in Tromsø) outreach day about coastal ecology. I did a practical session about drones and made this map!

How did I get unlicensed pilots to make a drone map in a no fly zone? They walked a flight pattern in teams, holding the drone up high - while a "pilot" directed them and pressed the shutter button! It was processed in time to show results at the end of the day :)

Drone mapping unlocks secrets of 3,000-year-old ‘mega fortress’ in the South Caucasus

A recent study using drone mapping has revealed that Dmanisis Gora, a 3,000-year-old mountainside fortress in the Caucasus Mountains, is far bigger than previously thought. The discoveries also prompted a reassessment of settlement dynamics during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages.
