DroneDeploy requires a file in format .CSV (spreadsheet saved as .csv) in order to integrate the coordinates surveyed at each ground control point to your map. The software will be looking at specific headings on the top rows as follows.

For Standard
For Custom
| FORMAT REQUIREMENTS |
| 1. Your .csv file must contain 4 columns if it is not a custom coordinate system or 7 if custom. |
| 2. Your 1st column header must be "GCP Label" |
|
3. Your 2nd, 3rd, & 4th column headers must be: Northing,Easting,Elevation (ft) Northing,Easting,Elevation (m) * Latitude,Longitude,Elevation (m) |
| 4. No cells can be left blank |
|
5. The "GCP Label" column must be in numerical order OR if that point corresponds to a Checkpoint you can label it “Checkpoint 1, Checkpoint 2, etc. “. See this example: |
| 6. You can not have duplicate GCP Labels |
| 7. Your GCPs must be located within the bounds of your EPSG code |
|
8. The CSV file should be saved using a newer version of Excel or an Excel alternative. Older versions of Excel often cause header row errors. Instead of building a new spreadsheet for this you can just download the following template where you can just paste your data. |

Northing / Easting Template (ft)
Northing / Easting Template (m)
Custom Latitude / Longitude Template (m)
Custom Coordinate Template (m)
Custom Coordinate Template (ft)
The CSV templates are available in the GCP section of upload and they are linked above in this article.
