About the licensing
The app is completely free and same features as before, no license is needed for previous features. All maps it currently contains are free. Free features are always kept updated.
Some advanced features (e.g. custom map provider and future features) need a pro license.

For example go to apple maps or mapbox or any other.
When you drone up further and further, at some point the map is COMPLETELY different.
but the best quality is the one that is most zoomed in aka low altitude.
so can we just get the lowest altitude maps as a feature ?
Thank you
