Exporting Data

The Dronetag App can save your flights and detections as files, so you can share them or keep them.

What You Can Export​

  • A flight. Open the flight and choose Export from its menu.
  • Detections. On the Detections screen, Export saves the detections the list shows. You can also export a single detection from its detail.

Choosing a Format​

  • Summary has one entry per flight or detection, without the positions.

Then choose Share to send the file to another app, or Save to keep it on your device.

What to Know About Exports From the App​

  • You export one format at a time.
  • KMZ and PDF use metric units.
  • CSV uses a decimal point and separates columns with commas. If your Excel uses a decimal comma, see Opening It in Excel.

The Formats in Detail​

The files are the same wherever you export them from. Export Formats describes each format, how the altitudes work and which terrain data is used.

More Export Options​

For more control over your exports, use the Dronetag Export service at export.dronetag.app. It can export many flights at once and also offers KML, CSV for European Excel settings, filters by serial number and callsign, and files that are safe to share publicly.
