You are on the right forum. We will help as much as we can so fire away. I am also on a GPS-centric forum that would be very beneficial getting going.

Here is a thread on a simple way to start practicing the GCP workflow. It’s not meant for super centimeter-level accuracy, but will get your map pretty close and sometimes more importantly align to each other. Especially if your are doing utility work progress.

There may be times when you want to have your maps align and be able to report progress, but don’t need centimeter absolute accuracy or have GNSS equipment to set GCP’s. This is a process I use for these occasions. You can paint the ground, put down some inexpensive targets or just use existing features to create rough Ground Control Points or RGCP’s as we call them. With the aid of Google Earth Pro, QGIS or other GIS software you can create a control file to upload with your images that will al…

…and a support doc from DroneDeploy. If you haven’t already seen it cruise around a little.
