5MF Flying in 3D in Google Earth Pro

Barry Houldsworth Dronelink Expert Dronelink Expert

Being able to see exactly what your drone is going to do during a flight in 3D is a game changing tool for safety, and to let your clients know exactly what they will receive.

I use this so much it never occurred to me to do a video on it before.

    Barry Houldsworth - Have you tried flying your missions "in the past" using the Google Earth Timeline?  It's interesting.

    Wow - that did not occur to me.  I knew the history in GE was there but it would be interesting to try that!

    I tried importing a Tiff today into google earth pro and it came out really badly

    I tried the scale and create super overlay option

    Altitude clamped to ground

    It was wa building site and everything was flat including houses!

    Very different application - what were you trying to do, update GE with the latest imagery to give a current fly through?

    I have two large jobs. I’ve already use this function on to preplanned Barry. It’s absolutely brilliant and gives me tons of confidence. Thanks for doing this.!

    Combine that with a verification mission on site and you can get really close to stuff with confidence.

    Ernie, I don't fly using anything else, DJI fly is just used for updating firmware👍

    Agreed Martin. While DJI has built some great hardware…they continue to fail on the software side. It’s amazing I have just learned about Dronelink. A friend referred me. Best move I could have made.
