Field notes
The described workflow starts by setting a drone-port location and installation height, then adding route waypoints; users can export the resulting KMZ for an aircraft. The page identifies Japanese public sources for terrain, airspace, buildings and hazard information, and says its manual lists data origins. It also cautions that the displayed information and exported files are references, not assurances of safety or legal authorization.
