Im new to mapping and tired of chasing things down on the internet so i’d like to hear from some of you who have experience with either of these. I am at work now and will probably pull the trigger on WebODM tonight after i get home Unless im hearing disturbing feedback.
first let me say that Drone Deploy is cost prohibitive for my purposes.
i have a (new) M3E and will be using that mapping program.
I have tried Skyebrowse and while it is great as tool for first responders, i need something more “standard’ (that is also affordable) while i learn and build a portfolio. Modelling ability is not crucial at this time.
i have been using Maps made Easy and it has worked great but looks like it is going to be about $30 per map based on the areas and level of detail i will be looking at. i am happy with the level of detail i get on maps made easy, (270 images, 13 acres) but i havent figured out how best to employ their point system.
WebODM also looks good and i understand it runs off your desktop But can also use a network server for larger files. I recently upgraded to a MacStudio M1, 1TB and 64GB- I know it should work, but how does this setup sound on the scale of what would be good for WebODM?
i think i may wind up using both- WebODM up to a certain size and then the Pay-As-you-go plan at maps made easy.
thoughts on these two?
