This is a better question for the software vendor that you are using to process your maps.
I know this is a couple of years old. But I'm with Joseph. It would be nice to be able to load a CSV with the GCP coordinates and numbers and have them show up on the site map with coordinates and GCP numbers. Just for pre and post-information, it would be nice. It can be very helpful not to have two apps with maps when verifying the mission just before the flight, the survey app and DroneLink. Also, it could be easier to secure if the mission covers each GCP. Just another layer of security keeping the GCPs plausible and tying the photo of it, the GPS and GNSS together in the DroneLink app and web dashboard. Even using an RTK drone using GCPs is still very much used and necessary.
From a programmer's perspective, it's just a new layer in DroneLink. Not to belittle the effort going into DroneLink.
Maybe I'm the only one seeing this. I hope not.
I just got a job that would benefit from GCP and checkpoints. It's a large lot with surveyors' poles in each corner each one with known GPS locations. It can be mapped without the on-map markers, but they would have been very nice to have.
Do you mean have them show up on the base map in the DL web planner? One thing you could do right now is upload a KML file to see an overlay on the map.
I did not know I could use KML files for that. That's actually a good idea and it could be used in my present project with known coordinated markers. There are a lot of use cases for this like boundaries for not flying over other people's ground. ✌️
It does not solve the initial idea to load the GCP coordinates into the DroneLink flight app to ensure the mission covers all points also those in odd places especially in city areas. 😁 Unless I have a computer in the field and make a KLM file there and tweak the mission on-site before I fly it. That could be a solution if I can't load the coordinates directly into DroneLink app. It is something I'm gonna try out.
Right now I use the app on my RC PRO to tweak on-site and that is a very convenient workflow. 👍
As usual. Thank you for your good support! I do enjoy learning to use DroneLink to it's fullest.
If it is a pre-planned mission, then wouldn't loading the KML during planning time solve this?
If it is an on-the-fly mission, can't you visibly see the GCP when marking the points with the drone?
