Today’s episode is brought to you by Drone U In-person Mapping Bootcamps. Join us for a 3-day boot camp and 1-day flight proficiency training in beautiful Colorado. It introduces the different types of data collection and provides discussion and guidance on how to handle the data collected after the flight. From Pix4d Mapper to Pix4d React, Drone Deploy and Optelos. Students will perform a total of seven exercises to familiarize themselves with the workflow for various deliverables. The goal is to map and build a model of these training locations. Join us today!!
Today on the show we discuss in detail mapping and technologies such as GCP, RTK and how pilots can make the best decisions for their business without breaking the bank.
Today’s question comes from Preston, who wants to know about mapping, GCP, and all the best options available for a mapping pilot without breaking the bank. Thanks for the question Preston. We kick off this episode by looking at the best ways to plan your budget when working with it and sharing some examples of how cost-effective solutions have delivered the best accuracy. We’ll then look at GCP and the ideal conditions for using it, along with some specifics. A GPS device is recommended for photographing GCPs. Other key things we’ll discuss in today’s episode are factors like signaling and RTK integration, especially how close the internet connection needs to be, whether pilots should always be shooting gcp’S, and whether Drone Deploy RTK integration is a good thing.
Tune in today to hear an episode full of details and information and learn more about mapping technology!!
