Hi Santiago, the quality doesn’t have anything to do with the free trial aspect. If you haven’t yet, please read through this guide on making successful maps as its chock full of helpful tips: http://support.dronedeploy.com/docs/making-successful-maps
The mission setup background satellite map is quite poor in places. I think DD were looking into changing their background map supplier to get better resolution for everyone, but nothing has happened so far.
I know EXACTLY what you mean! The area I needed to map is within the red circle. It is SO CLOSE to the area of good quality imaging, but when I attempt to zoom in closer, it tells me the image is unavailable. (GoogleEarth has better coverage of this area of northeastern Alberta in Canada.) Because of poor cell coverage, I have to preplan the mission in the office, so this mission was tricky.
I’ve flown this one a few times now, and the first time was almost blind and I gave it waaaay too much of an area to cover - but better safe than sorry! However on the later missions I was able to reduce the area to concentrate efforts and pinpoint on the area of interest.
Has there been an update on DD upgrading their map supplier for better resolution as described in the problem? I am planning flights and the same issue seems to be present.
It appears to be over a year and doesn’t seem like there’ve been any improvements.
