Today's question is about using RTK drones for generating greater accuracy. Can use create accurate survey grade maps with a non RTK drone as well?

Our caller, Ken from NJ has come up with an interesting question as always. Ken is wondering if you are able to pinpoint accurate positions in real time using RTK drones. With the launch of the Phantom 4 RTK and then Yuneec RTK, drone pilots have access to this new technology which holds the promise of a shortened workflow and greater accuracy. But, does this mean that you cannot build accurate maps using non RTK drones?

We also reveal if you can use non RTK drones for volumetric calculations - and whether the results are comparable to RTK drones. Tune in to discover some great insights. Fly Safe!

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

Today's question is about using RTK for generating higher accuracy in drone mapping

Do RTK drones calculate sensor position in real time?

Does the new Yuneec RTK calculate the sensor position in real time?

Does the use of RTK increase accuracy? Which drone will get you the most absolute accuracies while producing survey grade maps?

Can you create survey grades maps without RTK drones?

Is RTK the go to solution for creating survey grade maps?

Will the use of a non RTK drone affect volume calculations?

Do you need GCP's to calculate volumes?
