Dear forum members,

Last week I came across this website: http://www.travelbydrone.com. Essentially it's a Google Maps mashup where you can place your drone videos on a map. It's a nice way of sharing your drone-made travel videos in such a way that others can enjoy beautiful places on earth without leaving their homes.

From the 'about us' page:

Welcome to travelbydrone.com! We want to give you the chance to discover the world from the perspective of drones. The video footage of the area you are most interested in is as accessible as never before.

On this site, everyone can share YouTube videos and add the corresponding location. It will appear on the map with a pin where the video footage has been recorded. After submitting a request to share a video, a dedicated team will review the material before validating the request. As soon as the request has been validated, the shared video will be visible on the map.

For a share request to be validated, the video needs to be taken by a drone (not of a drone), be of good quality and clearly show the area in which the drone flies. A video will not be accepted if it is taken indoors, is from a military drone or is of promotional nature (promoting a product or has a political, religious or other personal message).

Travelbydrone.com does not host any videos. If you have any issues with a video please contact the owner on http://www.youtube.com. If you are the owner of a video and do not wish your video to be shared on the internet, please adjust your YouTube settings.

The travelbydrone.com team.

Yours,
Wiebe

PS. I am in no way affiliated to this website. I have posted my own video's but they haven't appeared yet. My Youtube channel is at http://www.youtube.com/wiebedejager
 
Yeah, travelbydrone only seems to accept YouTube videos. Also I had submitted several videos and they only posted 2. Not sure what their selection criteria is.

There is another site similar to this called dronetrotter.com. Although this site seems a little buggy...could not get the add video to work for me.

Hi Khudson7, thanks for trying to add a video to the site. Since the site in a continuous beta phase, you may have tried adding a video whilst I was still fiddling with the source code. Adding videos should work now and a lot of people have already been using it successfully for the past week or so. Are you still experiencing issues? If so, please do share so I can fix it as quickly as possible.
