Short story:
*Note: The word “can’t” could easily mean “haven’t figured out how to”
- I have two flight dates on same property.
- Only a partial set uploaded the 2nd time.
- I cannot add images to it to complete it.
- I can’t delete it.
- I reuploaded all the images but that map is separate from the first. I can’t use the split-view date slider.
Longer story:
I’ve had a terrible time navigating through DD’s app and the subsequent upload process. I’ll make another thread on other specifics.
I have flown a field two times. Images from the first date uploaded fine and an ortho was created. I went back to the field and flew it again using a differently named map plan. I probably duplicated the first and renamed it with a date.
When I uploaded the images, I found the drone had stored half the images in one folder and started a new one. I uploaded those from the first folder, being sure I had seen a button before about “adding more images”. I only saw “upload” so I clicked it, expecting the ‘add’ images button to become available. However, I found that the map was being processed with less than half the images in place. The result is I have two orthos in the same project and have the option to use the split-view slider to compare dates. But I could not add more images - it seems - to the 2nd ortho. There isa button to add more images but it doesn’t seem to be what I needed to add to the 2nd map. It seemed to only create a new map of the remaining images! Augh. I could be wrong but it was hard to tell.
I chose “new upload” and proceeded to upload all the images at once. However, THAT map is now NOT nested in the same project so I can’t use the slider to view by date.
If choose the Upload tab, I get a “no pending uploads” notice.
If I click “add images”, it suggests I’m creating a new map report.
How can I fix this? By deleting all and starting over?
Update June 1, 2021 0942: I revisited my dashboard and clicked on one of the orthos. I saw an “add more images” button. I clicked on it only to find that it said all 640 of 640 were uploaded. I clicked the other ortho and found that there was no such “add more images” button. I clicked b/w the two dates in the project and found the same issue.
I find this application to be so frustrating. I have 25 years of experience in ArcGIS and various precision agriculture software packages, some online and some locally-installed.
I must be in the wrong here because I can’t imagine a company as well known as Drone Deploy having an awkward app.
So prove me wrong! I want to learn!
