My Current DZ is set to Skydive Danielson and the dropdown for Current Landing Area opens and contains no options except “select landing area”. Is mapping of the landing areas crowdsourced to the users? If not, how soon can we expect landing areas for our DZs to be mapped? Is it based on the priority we assign to our Regular DZs?
Hi @lamealex4 - You’re correct about the crowdsourcing and priorities. At this stage we do not have accurate landing area locations for all 1,000 dropzones but as more device owners start using their Dekunu Cloud we are updating the landing areas. The crowdsourcing capacity will be opened in the near future… once we have ironed out a few procedural issues with certain dropzones. If you point out the landing areas for Skydive Danielson here I will add them as landing areas manually for you
Hi @brent, I figured mapping landing areas would would be a pretty labor intensive task. Here are the GPS coordinates for our pea pit and a nice little map with an overlay.
Lat/Long: 41.82278981008103, -71.90081381288587!
Main landing area: "Land Here!!"
Alternate landing area: “Secondary”

Hey @lamealex4 - you legend, thanks for the quick response and detailed map. I’ve added 2 landing areas for Skydive Danielson. Refresh your profile edit page and you will see them
@brent Damn you’re quick, thank you. I have good news and weird news.
Good news, I saw both landing areas and was able to select one and save my profile.
Weird news, my Regular DZ list now contains almost every DZ in alphabetical order.
Well, that was awkward. Bug fixed, your regular dropzones no longer contain every dz… unless you want it to
Maybe, this is also an interesting DZ - The landing area is a few miles away from the airport (EBZW).
