Learn how to set aerial targets directly on your existing survey control network to improve drone mapping accuracy. In this field tutorial, we walk through how to align DroneDeploy aerial data with established ground control points, including rebar, mag nails and concrete monuments.
Instead of placing random GCPs in the field, you’ll see how to lock your drone data into the same coordinate system your surveyor is already using — increasing confidence, improving alignment and reducing costly rework.

If you’re a surveyor, VDC manager or construction team running drone flights on active jobsites, this workflow helps eliminate misaligned datasets and improves quantity verification.
Coordinate early. Align your data streams. Build with confidence.
