Define Waypoints “By FLIGHT”

Introducing “By Flight” Mission Planning on Android 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce that the long-awaited “By Flight” feature—already a hit on iOS—is now available on Android in Maven EVO 2.1 and Maven 2.3! Whether you’re charting new paths or fine-tuning precise maneuvers, you can now save waypoints simply by flying your drone to the desired spots. ✈️

What’s New?

Record Waypoints By Flight
No more manual tapping on the map—just take off, fly to the desired position and save it.

Seamless Integration
“By Flight” slots right into the Mission Planner UI. Choose between “From Scratch” map mission planning and “By Flight” mission planning with a single tap.

Enhanced Accuracy
Capture exact GPS coordinates and altitude directly from your drone’s telemetry, ensuring every turn and hover point is recorded exactly where you intend.

Record POIs By Flight
You can also choose to save the drone’s position as a POI.

How It Works

  • Open Mission Planner in Maven EVO 2.1 or Maven 2.3.
  • Tap “By Flight” in the mode selector.
  • Take off and guide your drone to each waypoint location.
  • Tap the Add Waypoint button to record the point.
  • When you’re done, simply tap Stop Define Waypoints?, then Yes, I’m done to finalize your mission.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Speed & Simplicity: Switch from in-map planning to live flight recording in seconds.
  • Precision: Record waypoints exactly where you hover, no guessing or manual coordinate entry.
  • Flexibility: Combine “By Flight” waypoints with traditional map-based waypoints for hybrid mission plans.

With this addition, the Android Mission Planner has now reached full feature parity with its iOS counterpart. We’re officially ready to bring you brand-new, groundbreaking innovations in Maven! Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon. 😉

🔄 Update to Maven EVO 2.1 or Maven 2.3 today and start mapping missions as you fly!

Check out the following tutorial on how to use this feature, and happy flying!

⭐ If you enjoy this update, don’t forget to leave us a 5-star rating on the store and recommend Maven to your friends!
We still have an exciting roadmap ahead — stay tuned, more is coming!

🔹 GPS Follow
🔹 VR Mode
🔹 Waypoint Missions (Virtual Stick)

🚀 Step 3 (Another 1-2 weeks): A second update will add full support for Onboard Waypoint Missions, unlocking even greater mission planning capabilities!

Stay tuned for more updates – the wait won’t be long! 🔥

Maven: Next-Level Mission Planning with 3D Previews & KML Export!

🚀 New Features

🔹 Advanced Mission Planning Tools:

🎥 3D Flight Preview for Realistic Mission Simulation (In-App)

A game-changing feature! The 3D flight preview allows you to visualize the drone’s behavior during the mission execution in real-time.
✅ An essential tool to verify mission settings before takeoff and prevent mistakes.
✅ The simulation runs in real-time, accurately reflecting speed and mission parameters.
✅ You can speed up playback, pause, and scrub forward or backward.
✅ The drone’s position remains visible on the map throughout the preview.

🌍 Mission Export to KML for Google Earth and Earth Pro
For an even more immersive experience, you can now export your mission in KML format and open it in Google Earth.
✅ The KML file includes the flight animation, POI placemarks, and the mission path polyline.
✅ Note: Google Earth (mobile app) and Google Earth (web) do not support automatic flight animations.
✅ To view the full mission flight animation, use Google Earth Pro on PC or Mac (available for free download).

📡 Drone Field of View (FOV) Visualization on the Map
Now, when setting a waypoint, you can instantly see the area that the drone will capture. This helps you plan your shots better and avoid unexpected surprises during the flight.

🔹 More Precise Exposure Control:
📸 Manual shutter speed selection for better control over your shots.
📷 Improved manual ISO selection to optimize exposure in all lighting conditions.

🛠 Improvements & Optimizations:
✔️ Various bug fixes and performance optimizations for a smoother and more stable experience.

💡 We’ve worked hard on this update, and we’re thrilled to share it with you! We can’t wait to hear your feedback—let us know what you think!

⭐ Enjoying this free update? Please consider leaving us a 5-star rating on Google Play Store! 🌟 to show your appreciation. 
Your support helps us reach more drone pilots like you and continue improving the app. 🚀

📝 Notes

🚀 The new Mission Preview feature is already available in Maven 3.15 (iOS), Maven 2.2 (Android) and Maven EVO 1.2 (Android).

⚠️ Mission Preview Limitations:
🔸 The preview cannot tilt the camera above the horizon. If such movement is programmed, the preview will still be locked at the horizon.  However, in the actual mission, if the drone supports it, it will look up as expected.
🔸 Real-world factors may cause differences between the simulation and actual flight execution

🚀 Maven EVO 1.2.1 is here! 🎉

  • Added white balance settings
  • Added exposure compensation settings

Update now and enjoy more control over your camera! 📷✨

Maven vs Maven Lite

what is the difference between Maven and Maven Lite?

Maven is our app for iOS based devices, it was developed from 2017 till now and contains all features shown on this site.

Maven Lite is our Android version released in late December 2022
The app contains fewer features than its iOS counterpart but will be constantly updated in the coming months until it reaches full Maven functionality

Update March 2023: added VR mode

Here is the list of differences:

it might seem that Maven Lite is very limited, but still the virtual copilot allows you to perform these functions:

  • POI spotlight
  • GPS Follow/Track ME
  • Cable Cam
  • Automatic Orbit

as mentioned earlier maven lite will be updated until deserving the name maven! This page will be updated as progress progresses!

Maven For Android – (beta)

###24/12/2022 update Maven Lite is now available for download on Google Play

original post:

The application is in a beta stage and we are working to reach the Play Store as soon as possible.

At launch the application will have very limited functions and will then be completed with subsequent updates

The android app will be called “Maven Lite” until it is fully functional of its iOS counterpart

The first feature available at launch will be the “virtual co-pilot” and will have all the capabilities of the iOS version including, follow me, orbit me, and cable cam

The variety of android devices is so high that we can’t be sure it works on every device, and we can’t test them all, so to avoid selling you an application that might not work we decided that you can download and try the application for free.

It will be impossible to record videos from the drone while using the virtual co-pilot. Video recording will be unlocked via an in app purchase.

This is one of the last tests:

Test with Maven for Android

IMPORTANT, currently Maven for Android is NOT available for download on any store or site. Until its availability is announced on this page, any “APK” you find on the internet is in all probability a scam

### UPDATE ###

Maven Lite is now available for download on Google Play
here is the link:
