    I think the solution at the minute would be for mapbox to update their imagery to something clearer

    You can switch to Here Satellite but theirs is very similar but sometimes better or worse. All of the Satellite imagery companies update as needed and they can be anywhere from 6 moths to 1-1/2 years old or in some situation even older. I’ve check all of their websites and they are similar in the how often they are updated. Google and Apple Maps are the best for clear imagery when zoomed in but unfortunately it’s not as easy as adding them to the app. My understanding is there is a lot more involved to use those maps. Overall I have had no issues placing my plans where I want them.

    here is a recent link about Google maps and what it would take to use them.

    A painful topic for me too, like manys here...
    Couldn't the solution be to put a .tif file as a bakground? (like old version of android pix4dCapture)
    I regularly measure a quarry that changes and expands.

    Armands Zarins, what I would do in that case is import a tiff of the quarry in to Google earth as a super over lay, create a path or polygon in Google earth, export as a kmz, then import that into Dronelink

    Thanks Martin for the idea. That's exactly what I do. I just created the polygon immediately in Metashape. Unfortunately, it happens that "homework" has to be corrected on the field and then the missions must be changed "by intuition". A newer map on my iPad would be very helpful.

    The quarry is quite large. Many flights are required. I usually have around 60-80 GCPs.. Need to work fast, time is short, etc.

    Either way, I'm very satisfied with Dronelink. I understand that programs are quite complex and there are many factors to consider.
