Today's question is about the best GPS solutions for drone mapping. Is there an accurate GPS solution that does not burn a hole in your pocket?



Our caller for today, Andy is drone mapper who has a question about GCP solutions. Specifically, Andy does not wish to spend thousands of dollars to purchase a GPS system. Yet, he does not wish to compromise on accuracy. So, what are some affordable GPS solutions that are a good fit for Andy?



In today's show, we reveal the GPS solution that we, at Drone U, use for our mapping classes. We also compare RTK and PPK systems so that you can determine the option which works best for you. Coming to the main topic for today's show, Paul reveals why the HC3 GPS Data Collector might be a good option for Andy.
