With the help of an up-to-date drone map, you can quickly and easily view no-fly zones and geo-zones and find out where you can fly your drone. We show you drone maps for various countries such as Germany and Austria.
An interactive drone map is ideal for quickly and easily checking which no-fly zones exist and where you are allowed to fly your drone. It is important to make sure that the map is up-to-date and contains official data.
In the following overview, we provide you with drone maps from various countries and explain what you should look out for when using the maps.

Frequently asked questions and answers about drone maps
The map material for the maps we link to is usually supplied by the relevant national authority. This is to ensure that official and up-to-date data is used for the map material.
No, not necessarily. Even if you come across an open area without a geozone or flight restriction area, this does not automatically mean that you can simply fly there. There can be a variety of other reasons why a flight is not possible even in unmarked areas. For example, due to private property, safety distances to geo-zones, etc. You should therefore also familiarise yourself with the national drone laws.
No. The markings are not automatically to be understood as no-fly zones. The geo-zones, i.e. the colour-coded areas, indicate areas in which flying is permitted under certain conditions. These conditions are often very strict (hence the need for geo-zones), but are generally easy to understand. The national laws are responsible for this. The interactive drone maps usually show directly which paragraph applies here and which requirements must be met for drone flights.
Geozones, geo-zones or geographical UAS areas are areas defined by the respective member state in which drone flights are only permitted or completely prohibited with authorisation or under certain conditions. Outside of geo-zones, drone flights are generally permitted – unless an exception applies.
