Find FPV spots where nobody is watching
The finder searches your area for places with few people and open ground – and tells you for every spot why it works and what to watch out for.

How it works
-
Pick a place
Type a town or use your location. Nothing else to set up.
-
See the top spots
You get the best places nearby as a list and on the map – with a score and the reasons behind it.
-
Check and go
Warnings, flight weather and a direct link to dipul.de help with the check. Then start the route.
What goes into the rating
Few people
- Distance to residential areas, buildings and roads
- Distance to paths and signposted hiking and cycling routes
- Destinations such as car parks, playgrounds and viewpoints
- Day and time: Sunday afternoon is not Tuesday morning
Good flying
- Open terrain and a usable take-off and landing spot
- Safety distance to roads, railways and power lines
- Structure to fly around: forest edges, tree rows, shorelines
- Nature reserves and aerodromes are blocked
Important: not a substitute for an airspace check
The finder is a research tool built on open data. Whether you may fly somewhere is yours to check before every flight – against the EU drone regulation, national law, geographical UAS zones and NOTAMs, most easily on dipul.de.
Guides: rules and good spots
Frequently asked questions
How does the tool find a good FPV spot?
It lays a grid over your search area – one point every 150 metres by default – and rates every point twice: how few people are likely to be there, and how good the flying is. It weighs the distance to buildings, residential areas, roads, paths, signposted hiking and cycling routes, popular destinations, power lines and railways, plus the land use at the spot itself.
Am I allowed to fly at a suggested spot?
The tool cannot decide that and does not claim to. The rating is a heuristic over open map data. Whether you may fly depends on the EU drone regulation (2019/947), national law, geographical UAS zones and current NOTAMs. Check before every flight – in Germany most easily on dipul.de. Every spot in the finder links straight to it.
Why is a point greyed out or blocked?
It breaks a hard rule: less than 150 metres from a residential, commercial or recreational area (following EU category A3), too close to buildings, roads or railways, inside a nature reserve or near an aerodrome. Such points stay visible so you can see why an area is ruled out.
What are the reasons shown for each spot?
Instead of a bare number you see why a place scores well – "nearest path 420 m away" or "open terrain". That lets you check the rating on the satellite image and on the ground.
