Source Imagery (ZIP) |
Zip file containing the processed map’s source imagery Available to Enterprise Only *Can be combined with auto exports and supported integrations |
Export your Map projections
By default, most exports are generated using the Web Mercator projection (EPSG: 3857). This is great for importing into web mapping systems such as Google Earth or Mapbox.
We also make exports available in the most common global spherical coordinate system: WGS84 (EPSG: 4326). This coordinate system is commonly used for more traditional "desktop" mapping tools.
If you require a custom EPSG code such as State Plane Coordinate System or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), contact our support team to inquire about our Individual and Enterprise accounts with custom EPSG support. Support@dronedeploy.com
