Should you start with cloud processing as opposed to desktop solutions during mapping ?

As a mapper should you opt for cloud solutions which seem easier to work with as against desktop solutions? Are there inherent benefits to desktop tools?

In today’s episode we review and discuss the common solutions available in drone mapping and if pilots should opt for cloud solutions as against desktop solutions.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Drone U mapping events and classes. We talk about some of the new changes we have made to our mapping classes and course curriculum to stay updated with some of the recent trends in the mapping industry such as going over new products for geo-referencing, geo-tagging, GPS and more. Visit our Drone U events page for more details on classes and courses.

Today’s question from Jamie is whether he should be using cloud solutions for mapping processing as against desktop solutions, as cloud solutions allow for faster post processing of mapping deliverables.

We delve into details of mapping post processing and explain the difference in delivering mapping solutions to private clients as against publishing for the general public. We explain the difference in deliverables while providing final solutions to clients with mapping solutions and the general public that focus more on visualization.

We speak in detail about the benefits of using desktop solutions for drone mappers as these tools assist the pilot in understanding the calculations behind mapping processing and how these can teach the pilot to be better prepared for handing client questions and improve overall deliverable quality in future flights. A short discussion is also included on how to handle conversations with clients with a background in understanding mapping deliverables as against clients new to the mapping world.

Tune in today to get all the details on ensuring you are confident of understanding excellent mapping deliverables and on the use of desktop vs cloud solutions.
