The latest #SketchMapTool release now integrates with #OpenAerialMap, letting you add freshly captured drone or openly licensed imagery as a background layer using just an image ID. 🗺️

This empowers local actors and community mappers to combine aerial views with on-the-ground knowledge in a single, seamless workflow.

As a result, #ParticipatoryMapping becomes even more accessible and efficient, in #humanitarian contexts and beyond!

#droneimagery #mapping

I am thinking of doing some aerial mapping for OSM and i borrowed a DJI Mavic mini drone for a couple of weeks. I found out manualy flying the drone does not produce the best results and it seems i need an app to plan missions and choose the areas.

I do not have a budget for this so im looking for any free tools that will make the mapping proces easier and produce better quality imagery. Any tips and tricks will be very appreciated!

P.s im on Linux and Android. Windows and IOS tools don't really help.

Into aerial photography but don’t know where to host your imagery? 📸✈️ Check out openaerialmap.org!

Our colleague created this map to showcase this perfect solution for sharing high-quality aerial images with the world. This particular photo of their hometown was uploaded by an OpenAerialMap contributor under an open license. It can be used for mapping in OpenStreetMap, any GIS project, and shared on social media. 😊
