Capabilities
Accuracy you can check
Our own Emlid GNSS base station runs on a known point for every mapping flight. Ground control and checkpoints are set with our Emlid GNSS rover or tied to your surveyor's network, and every job ships with an accuracy report.
Delivered in NAD83 (2011), California, Arizona or Nevada State Plane, UTM, NAVD88 or your site grid.

Field experience
Years of mine-site projects, self-sufficient anywhere
James has planned and run ground control on projects from drone mapping jobs to large mine sites flown by manned LiDAR aircraft. Our generator-powered 4x4 field truck with Starlink means remote and off-grid sites are routine.
