Why Use a Drone for Mapping Purposes?

Drone mapping provides a detailed, topographical depiction of an area using high-resolution aerial imagery. Unlike a licensed survey—which legally defines boundaries and measurements—drone mapping focuses on creating comprehensive, visual representations of terrain features. Here’s why it’s a smart choice:

Here’s why it’s a smart choice:

• Detailed Topographical Depiction:
  Drones capture high-quality images that, when combined, produce detailed maps showcasing elevation changes, contours, and natural features such as vegetation, water bodies, and landforms.

• Efficiency & Speed:
  Covering large areas quickly, drones enable rapid data collection. This is perfect for projects that require near-real-time updates, such as environmental monitoring or urban planning.

  
  
  

• Cost-Effective Data Collection:
  Drone mapping is typically more affordable than traditional mapping methods. It offers substantial detail without the higher costs associated with licensed surveying.

• Versatile Applications:
  Ideal for various industries—from agriculture to urban development—drone mapping provides a visual overview that supports decision-making and project planning. It’s a great tool for tracking changes over time or planning renovations and expansions.

• Clear Distinction from Licensed Surveys:
  While drone mapping delivers a rich, visual interpretation of the terrain, it is not a substitute for a licensed survey. If you need legally binding measurements or boundary definitions, a professional surveyor should be consulted.

Using drones for mapping offers businesses and property owners a modern, efficient, and economical way to understand and manage their land—all while complementing, not replacing, formal surveying services.

Please note that surveys/surveying can only be done by a licensed/board certified surveyor and that is not what we do.
