Seeing the world by drone

When Jan Hiersemenzel started TravelByDrone in March, the website had only 20 videos, all of which he had uploaded.

"The commercial drone industry has grown very quickly and there's been an increasing need to organize this data," said Hiersemenzel, 29. "Drone videos existed online, but it was difficult to find footage based on specific locations."

He organized the videos by geotags and hosted them on a map, making it easier to navigate among areas or to discover experiences in places not commonly associated with tourism.
