1) Clusters of portals are not in a grid. It's very hard to map out a route, and stick to it without getting turned around.
2) It's very cumbersome to keep a document of which portals your drone has visited. You really shouldn't need to toggle between other products, in order to play Ingress.
3) After a drone move, you have to orient toward the portal you want next, and remember what direction it's in. An hour later, you have to remember to reorient it in the desired direction before you hop. Or, you could hop backward by mistake, wasting two hours.
4) Say I go to dinner in a portal-rich area that I droned a year prior. With a drone layer, I would see new portals that I haven't droned yet, or missed the first time. That would be fun and exciting!
It mentioned Mark III, so I would hope we'd get more than a visual update. We got the ability to see other drones with Mark II right?
Makes me wish we could operate different drones. I'd much prefer a Mark I that can go on reconnaissance missions without the risk of being returned by my own faction.
And a dev team who still hasn't made it happen for any reason that won't make sense to me, regardless of how it's explained. #SorryNotSorry And for that matter, not even talked about it. Not that they talk about anything, but still...
I think the haters are the folks who still probably think drones are cheating or something.

I have been wondering why this wasn't included originally. Buy do please add it.
Do want.
Can someone from Niantic let us know if this is something we’ll eventually see or not? Next six months? Next year? C’mon, throw us a bone…
SoonTM

It can be a yourfactionringcolor on the current drone layer.
Curious if this drone kit recently dropped has anything to do with a unique drone layer? Sure hope so
Seems more to be skins for the drone.

And a drone unique portals medal !
Please pretty please!
This is one of those features that:
Help a lot, hurt nobody, not that hard to develop and yet have a bunch of haters who are against it for no logical reason.

Great idea for both. Drone visited overlay and udv badge +100
