In today's show, Paul and Josh team up to discuss comprehensive drone mapping workflow. You will learn about the minutest nuances of RTK and PPK GPS which will help you implement the correct workflow for acquiring survey grade data.

Drone pilots often come to us with questions pertaining to RTK and PPK GPS. Does a RTK drone mean that you will end up using RTK GPS? Do you need to connect to a network in order to remove ellipsoid error? We discuss if the newly launched Phantom 4 RTK will indeed shorten your mapping workflow.

Can you really do away with GCPs when using Phantom 4 RTK? Paul and Josh dive down the rabbit hole and share the smallest nuances. You will also learn how to correctly use Propeller Aeropoints for setting GCPs in drone mapping. This short episode is loaded with value guaranteed to give you the competitive advantage. Tune in now! Fly Safe!

Join us for our first intensive weekend of mapping instruction in the New Year from January 18-20, 2019 in Charleston, SC
