Expert Tips for Building Accurate Drone Maps and Models

Today’s question is about ground truthing your drone maps.

Our caller, Jon from Arizona is a new ADU listener who is learning the nuances of drone mapping. Jon’s question today is about ground truthing. How can you ground truth if you are using a drone like Phantom 4 RTK which relies on a NTrip network? Will your mapping accuracy go down if your NTrip network is not stable?

Additionally, we also discuss the best fixed-wing options and workflow for mapping really large tracts of land. Thanks for the great question, Jon. Fly Safe!
