[QUOTE="Magnetic, post: 25996, member: 4380"] We have a smaller Military base near us - according to the Hover and AirMap apps there is an oblong "Special Use Airspace" shaded in light blue around the base - some areas extending 7-8 miles away, some only a couple miles. However, when I went on the FAA B4UFly map, they only show red in the are directly around the base, but nothing extending as far out as the other two maps (not even a yellow circle!). Who should I believe? I would think the FAA map should be the main source, but it just seemed odd to me. I wanted to fly my drone at a local park which has a 2 mile trail through large open fields - but it 3/4 of the trail extends into the edge of the light blue area according to Hover and AirMap. I feel like the FAA wants people to be safe, but their app is really awful and inconsistent with other maps. I've found DJI, B4UFly (FAA), Hover and AirMap all have slightly different information depending where you are looking to fly. [/QUOTE]
