DroneDeploy Aerial

Project-level GCPs - Save GCPs to the project in any new map plan. 
Annotation Grouping - Combine annotations in customizable groups for easier and better project navigation and organization. 
M3E Live Map - Lower resolution, preview version of the map available immediately after flight.  Reduces the need to drive to the office to upload data so critical decisions can be made in the field.
Dock Automation General Improvements- Toggle between dock and drone camera during flight to ensure the dock is free of any obstructions when the drone is returning to the dock. Estimate the wind speed from the drone when it takes off. DJI Airsense alerts for nearby aircraft with ADSB-IN. 
Dock Automation Pre-flight Checklist Additions - Receive weather information from the dock to confirm conditions are favorable. Check the dock camera to ensure the dock is fully functional before takeoff. Open the dock so the drone condition can be verified.
Controlled Maps - Filter - Maps flown with high accuracy control, such as GCPs, PPK, and RTK can now be filtered.
Controlled Maps - Badges - Badges for RTK, GCPs PPK, and Checkpoints are shown within Map Details for maps flown with high accuracy control.
Offline Flight Management - Lists offline maps on a mobile device so users can delete old maps and manage the 10 offline map limit.
Flight Log Viewer - Analyze flights flown within DroneDeploy and troubleshoot issues. 
Overlays on Flight Planning - Show a 2D design (.png file, design surface, imported web layer, any overlay) file as an overlay in flight planning.  Valuable when basemap imagery is outdated and updated design files are needed for flight planning purposes. 
PPK - Local Base Station Support - Allows surveyors to take advantage of DroneDeploy drag-and-drop PPK processing by providing their own base station and rover observations in lieu of the Applanix virtual network.

Insta360 X4 Full Support - DroneDeploy now fully supports the Insta360 X4 for 360 photos and Walks with the DroneDeploy Ground App.

StructionSite Upgrade Hub in DroneDeploy Ground - To simplify the migration of StructionSite project data to DroneDeploy Ground, we have developed an Upgrade Hub where Admins will be able to preview a copy of their StructionSite project in DroneDeploy – and then click the “Upgrade” button to activate the new DroneDeploy project for editing and collaboration.
Interior PDF Download -  Instantly generate a PDF of the current interior view, including markers for all media, to deliver a filtered view of the project to key clients and stakeholders.
