Poor resolution on map satellite view

Mark Pinnuck

The resolution of both Mapbox and Here map styles is very poor compared to google maps, litchi or autopilot.

is there a way to get better quality satellite image? Dronelink and Autopilot comparison images attached.

    There are many other threads about this already, such as this one.

    Why is the quality of maps on Dronelink so bad against Drone Harmony?

    Drone Harmony use Google which is so much better when your trying to plan a survey 

    Is there plans to change as currently its no good for me

    The previously linked thread still explains this: https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360034828393-Google-Maps

    Maybe a configurable option in the future for the Dronelink user to sign up to Google Maps and pay for the service if they wish.

    That's great Jim.  I am hoping to again see a major release with a lot of new enhancements.  (The past year has shown ever decreasing release content so we hope for more going forward).   Can you share any items we can expect to see soon?

    Google maps was a huge effort by itself, but yes we do plan on doing more. For example, we have terrain follow in waypoint components coming soon, and given the recent ban on foreign drones we are looking into other SDKs, particularly MAVLink / PX4. What's at the top of your wishlist?

    Examples of our wishlist items:

    • Import map base layer to plan over
    • DEM Import for custom terrain follow
    • Offline mission planner
    • Fully 3D mission planner
    • Improved language translations

    Good to hear. Some will still complain that they are not up to date but don’t realize it’s Google, not DL. Anyway, other future features will just add to a great app. 👍🏼

    Jim has the right wish list - basically the ones with the highest number of upvotes in the request list.   Personally. I would appreciate building out the remaining commands in the SDK that are not implemented yet.  Like Beacon (Strobe) light or DJI's own Pano command (The one that would execute the DJI Stitching routine)..
