Just some further info about Pix4D............if you get out of radio range the drone just keeps flying its mission and returns to home when finished. We are currently flying in the low laying mountains on the Mexican coast and have flown about 8 missions in the last two days where we were...

I'll try to get you a sample map. We take the magnetometer readings and run them through some mapping software which shows where there are concentrations of iron ore. We are still experimenting to determine best altitude, etc. to fly at. We will probably get a camera so we can fly with the Map...

OK, we found an app that works without a camera (even though it says it detects a camera). It is called Pix4Dcapture. We have now flown 4 various missions with it and it works good.

We have tried Drone Deploy, Map Pilot and a just about any other ones we could find that are compatible with the Matrice 600. So far they all work until you try to upload the mission or hit the go button then they ask for the camera.

We have a Matrice 600 with a magnetometer attached. We do not have a camera. We want to fly field surveys with an app such as Dronedeploy or Map Pilot, etc. So far we have not been able to find one that doesn't require communication with a camera in order to work. Does anyone know of an app that...

We basically just want to use Map Pilot as an autopilot for the drone. We don't require any images or processing. Is there other software out there that doesn't require a camera?

The next problem we have is we don't have a camera on our drone and it appears Map Pilot will not work if it can't connect to a camera. I imagine drone deploy is the same? Does anyone know a workaround for this?

Thanks for the reply. We will be flying at 100 meters so it should be good. According to Map Pilot they use the USGS data. Terrain Awareness

Hello all, we will be flying our Matrice 600 equipped with a magnetometer for surveying purposes. We fly over uneven terrain. The magnetometer gets its best data if we can maintain the same altitude over the terrain. Drone Deploy does not have an altitude awareness option however Map Pilot does...
