About Measure Ground Control

Measure Ground Control is a GIS solution that helps organizations of all sizes streamline processes related to map creation, flight planning, mission scheduling, equipment management, inspections, and more from within a unified platform. With the flight control module, staff members can plan flight operations, manage waypoint patterns, upload flight logs, request LAANC authorization, and monitor weather conditions.

Measure Ground Control allows team members to ensure compliance with industry guidelines by maintaining and accessing detailed mission information, such as screenshots, playbacks, program activities, incidents, and more. The data processing functionality lets employees upload ground control points (GCPs), create contour maps, design digital surface models, generate orthomosaics, and measure linear distances on a centralized platform. Additionally, supervisors can set up single sign-on (SSO), configure permission rights, conduct inspection data analysis, and generate program activity reports.

Measure Ground Control allows businesses to integrate the platform with SAP and Cheqroom enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions. It is available for free and on annual and mon...

thly subscriptions. Support is extended via email, documentation, FAQs, video tutorials, and other online measures.

    Pros:
    To set it up on the computer with way points was really easy. When flying it did its intended job. The map turned out good except for a few problem areas listed below.
    Cons:
    Issues with camera not loading up properly when launching. It would be able to fly the map but it wouldn't show the video on my ipad. IT would only show on the map the drone flying the course. I would have to reset my drone and ipad every time I did a battery change. Which was really frustrating. When I got done all the pictures of the course. There was an area in the middle of the course that the pictures were all over exposed. So super bright in comparison to the rest of the pictures on the map. When uploading the pictures I would have to be on the computer using it otherwise it would time out and would have to start the upload again. Also there was an issue with the height of the drone for the map. I tried 60M and it would cut off half of the mapped area I chose in the software. Wouldn't take any more pictures after that. When I moved it up to 90M it seemed to do the whole map. There was just some little issues that made it very frustrating.

    Trial for use in stockpile management

    4

    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.

    Very easy and intuitive to use. Great integration of flight planning and flight logs Powerful integration with PIX4D
    Cons:
    Cannot output DXF files of triangulated surfaces Can't input DXF files of triangulated surfaces representing complex base surfaces of piles

    Reasons for choosing Measure Ground Control

    Ultimately we chose Propeller Aero as it can easily use DXF files and the PPK option enabled very accurate surveys.

    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!

    Pros:
    I like that the interface looked easy.
    Cons:
    No one instructed me that you have to sign in to the DJI App on Measure Ground Control every single time and sign in to Airmaps in order to get clearance around some Geofences. The company I was flying for blamed me for this and has not hired me again since even though they knew I never flown with Ground Control before.

    Reasons for switching to Measure Ground Control

    I didn't want to make the switch. The company I was flying for uses Measure Ground Control and it was the worse experience using any app to fly my drone. The idea that the company "blamed" me for the App's shortfall and their own shortfall which they acknowledged was rather disturbing.

    Great so far...

    Other than the LAANC thing everything else has been great. I've grown to trust this app is gonna fly my drone exactly as I planned ahead of time and then bring it back when done. I have my own processing setup already but the 2 free maps per month have actually come in handy as well (when I'm in a hurry I'll start the upload while still in the field and once my computer was down at the time). I have recommended this app to many of my friends/pilots and I will continue to do so. 2 thumbs up from me.

    Cons:
    My only gripe to this point is while they advertise you can get LAANC authorization it's really just a link to Airmap. Kinda misleading as far as I'm concerned.

    Reasons for switching to Measure Ground Control

    I had experienced 2 flyaways in a row using drone deploy and completely lost trust in the app. Luckily I got my drone back both times but I didn't want to try it for a 3rd time lol.

    Very good. I've been pleased with the user interface both on the website and the mobile app. I've had some issues in flight with the app, but that may have more to do with drone issues than anything else. I really like that we can see all the flights being conducted, particularly if I have trials far away that need flown by another user, though some filtering capabilities would be great.

    The website is pretty streamlined and I was able to figure most of it out on my own without much assistance.
    Cons:
    With the landing page showing all the flight plans for every user in the company, navigation got bogged down some. If we could filter out only those flight plans or data files we're interested in, that would be a great improvement.

    Nothing. Was not a good experience. Hopefully you have improved it
    Cons:
    I quit using ground control after repeated & continuous app crashes while flying the drone. Always had to switch back to manufacturer software to complete my flights. After several weeks of this I discontinued using it. 4 months later our company pushed use again. I tried again with same results- never completed 1 flight with it before app crashed. Been 6 months- not gonna use again. To be fair this was company mandate & I never dealt with customer service at Control

    The Jury is Still Out...

    I am a 2-maps per month, "Free" user...so I really don't have a financial dog in this fight (so to speak). But, regardless, I believe everyone who uses this company's software (whether they pay or not) should expect a quality, error-free experience. On the two occasions where I submitted drone images expecting a quality aerial 2D map to be produced in return, I was less than impressed with the final results. Subsequently, I had to do my own post-processing of the maps provided in order to make then useable for my client. It could very well be that my knowledge and understanding of the software's capabilities are lacking, or that my expectations are too high. Either way, I haven't been at all pleased with this product...but, the "price" is all I can afford at this time.

    Pros:
    Ease of use is probably my most favorable Pro. The user simply uploads their drone images, and the software takes over from there.
    Cons:
    What I like least is the quality of the product/data. In my humble opinion, quality is mediocre at best. Though a lot of "data" is provided back to the user, it often lacks what I could call "quality control."

    First, Customer & Technical Support: Other. Worldy. Awesome. The myriad of bugs that both flight and web processes software presented were taken seriously and I was dealt with on a very personal basis. If it were not for the fact that I cannot afford to wonder if the software will work, I can't think of even the smallest reason to consider any other option. I want to love and use nothing else, however there's confidence, a lot of it, to be rebuilt.

    Pros:
    Web UI & Pilot App software are generally very smooth and easy to work with. Planning capability, metrics, and flight software are exceptionally useful and informative. In general, the planning process contains all the right, easy pieces. Pix4D processing. Customer & technical support are in a class all by themselves, this reason alone is worth recommending the company over others regardless of anything else.
    Cons:
    Buggy pilot software, buggy UAV command scripts, buggy web interface, uploading, processing. Proper workflow matters despite being hitched as a a la carte process. Success was HIGHLY dependent on process order. As much as I love the whole environment more than any other software or combined softwares, I have yet to plan, fly, and process a mission without a major bug. To a professional, this nullifies everything else.
