Measure Ground Control

First deployment for a Golf Course.

I used it one time to do the mapping for a golf course. I will use it again when I do another golf course.

Trial for use in stockpile management

We were very interested and optimistic about using this tool for replacement of our traditional aerial surveys for coal and byproducts stockpile management. However, upon using it on a trial basis, we found that we could not get the output we needed to interface with our systems. We were disappointed that this was the case as all the other tools in Measure were so intuitive and well integrated.

Whoops!

Complete Fail! I am a safe, skilled and experienced FAA certified drone pilot for films, television and commercials. My industry has very little work going on due to Covid. I was looking forward to working with a new company who hired me to fly. I told them I had never used Measure Ground Control before and they assured me that they would verify the mission they were asking me to upload comletely to make sure it would execute. I went to the location and did the first part of the job manually using my DJI App. It went well and looked great. When I called up the mission in the Ground Control App, I was looking forward to it automatically executing. It kept stopping at a certain point 1/8th into the mission. I later found out that it did not execute because you have to sign in to the DJI App on Measure Ground Control and sign in to Airmaps to get clearance around some Geofences that the company I was hired to fly for did not even know existed in the area. The company I was flying for somehow blamed me for this and has not hired me again even though they knew I never flown with Ground Control before and paid me because they acknowledged this issue. I flew the mission they needed manually to the best of my ability and got them as much of it that I could get (90%). Still they have not hired me again due to this issue in your App. I have used Litchi and Waypoints in DJI and other apps and never had this issue occur. Please correct this in your App!

Great choice

Has help with the yard looking real nice grass is green

Great Value! But Dashboard Needs Streamlining

I was excited to use a new A.I. platform for flight planning that had a reasonable price point for smaller, start-up drone companies like mine. Measure Ground Control offers many of the same features as other programs (easy geofencing, A.I. flight plans, multi-battery missions, .kml import...) but at a much more competitive price, and also allows a free version for those who may not need to use it as often (two free).

I found the individual tools to be easy to use and plan with. The only thing I've found as a knock on Measure Ground control, and maybe it's just me, but initially it seems awkward moving between "missions," "maps," "flight plans" etc. I was having trouble trying to figure out the difference between "Mission" and "Flight Plan" and "Map" as they can all be somewhat construed the same thing in certain mapping situations. I'm still learning so perhaps it will become easier to distinguish.

The only other issue I had was that I attempted to fly my first flight plan using my iPad rather than my iPhone. However, I guess my iPad would not allow the latest version of Measure's Ground Control app to download, but it did allow the install of an older version. I didn't think much of it until I launched and had literally no manual control over my drone. Hith the Home button, recovered, and launched again using the iPhone. Flight went GREAT! Took two batteries and resumed with battery two VERY easily. I was definitely impressed with the ease of the app during flight.
