    Terrain Aware or Fixed altitude for Mapping (Ortho, 3D and cut/fill calculation)

    I am familiar with setting TA in Map Pilot, but I am not sure that I understand the "run parallel with the contours" bit.. don't know how to set that in Map Pilot... Because the contours weave all over the place (on the horizontal plane I mean), how can I set flight path to run parallel with the...

    Terrain Aware or Fixed altitude for Mapping (Ortho, 3D and cut/fill calculation)

    Thanks Hawkview..... My quarry is about the same size... can I ask what elevation / altitude you use to map your site??? (eg 200 ft / 60 m with TA??) thanks, Mike

    Terrain Aware or Fixed altitude for Mapping (Ortho, 3D and cut/fill calculation)

    Thanks R Martin for your reply... I am leaning towards terrain aware for all mapping flights, and appreciate that it would result in a more consistent GSD for the ortho maps.... I wasn't so sure about the 3D models though.... but nevertheless, I think I will go with terrain aware for all...

    Terrain Aware or Fixed altitude for Mapping (Ortho, 3D and cut/fill calculation)

    Hi folks, I want to create maps / surveys as accurately as I can, but see a lot of conflicting messages re using terrain awareness as opposed to simple fixed altitude flying. What are the thoughts on using mapping apps (Map Pilot / Drone Deploy etc), WITH as opposed to WITHOUT terrain awareness...

    Upcoming Low-Priced RTK?

    Hi folks, not a lot of info on this as yet, but has anyone got any insights at all??? Maple Precision to release a GNSS RTK receiver for under CAD 500.00. Link here: Maple RTK - Maple Precision Sounds too good to be true..... the x & y accuracy may be OK, but of course, its the z accuracy...
