    Learning about mapping

    The amount of time it takes for the unit to stop and take an image is negligible. I'm not really sure what an "average size" site is, is that an industry standard? I'm not really here to argue over whose processes are better though.

    Hello from Massachusetts

    Hey everyone! Wow, can't believe it took me this long to find this forum. I got my FAA 107 almost 1 year ago. I've spent a long time in the energy & infrastructure industry, and thought it would make a lot of sense to start looking at adopting the newest applicable technology into my wheelhouse.
