In this episode, we break down what geodesy is and why it matters for professional drone mapping. If you're doing any kind of serious drone mapping work - especially with surveyors or engineers - this is something you need to understand.
Think drone mapping is just about taking pictures from above? Think again! Learn why being off by just a few feet in your measurements could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars on big projects, and how understanding geodesy helps you avoid these costly mistakes.
Key topics covered:
What geodesy really means for drone pilots
Why it matters for construction and engineering projects
Real examples of how measurement errors can impact projects
Basic concepts you need to know for professional mapping
