Drone mapping uses unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors to capture aerial images and data for creating maps and 3D models. It's revolutionizing how we collect and analyze spatial information across industries like agriculture, construction, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and urban planning.
In this video, you'll learn the ins and outs of drone mapping. We'll cover how drones capture images in a grid pattern and specialized software stitches them together into incredibly detailed orthomosaic maps. You'll see the advantages of using drones over traditional mapping methods, like higher precision, easier access to remote areas, rapid data collection, and cost savings.
We'll guide you through the essential equipment needed, from selecting the right drone and camera to using GPS receivers, ground control points, and flight control software. You'll discover the latest mapping software options and how to choose the right one for your needs.
But mapping with drones isn't just about the tech. We'll also dive into the legal considerations, including certification, permits, privacy laws, insurance requirements, and local regulations you need to follow.

Until June 30, 2024 we are offering you FREE access to our $79 workshop on how to take construction site progress shots. This workshop goes hand in hand with mapping and can help you learn more about what progress shots are and why they are important. You will get a step by step guide to getting progress shots and what the final deliverables should look like.
