The youngest person to use a drone to capture digital images for use in map-making is Nathan Lu (USA, b. 25 September 2004). From the age of 11 years old, Nathan has mapped his neighbourhood and the surrounding environs in Long Beach, California, USA, using drones, and is by far the youngest drone pilot and photographer whose images have been utilized by a digital mapping service - in this case, Soar (USA), which he first posted to on 15 April 2019 aged 14 years 202 days.
Nathan's first upload to Soar was of a circular soccer field in Rossmoor, California, taken from a height of 113.8 m (373 ft 4 in) using his DJI Mavic Air FC2103 drone
