About Measure Ground Control

Measure Ground Control is an all-in-one drone deployment and data management software solution for UAV pilots, small businesses and large enterprises. Create a mission, plan a flight, check airspace, and process your image data in a variety of formats, such as high-quality orthomosaics, 3D maps and 3D mesh, thermal imagery, digital surface models (DSM), and many more. Manage your pilots and drone fleet, create and reuse flight plans, store and maintain fly sites, build flight schedules, run safety checklists and log flight data, as well as create customized data reports.

With the ability to navigate seamlessly between the web and mobile applications, Measure Ground Control features LAANC airspace authorization with built-in Airmap technology, so you can fly any airspace safely within FAA compliant. Process and create data products with our advanced photogrammetry and image processing featuring an integrated Pix4D toolkit, or inspect and annotate image data using our custom Scopito integration, all within the convenience of a single software application.

Measure Ground Control offers multiple flight modes including Panorama, Spotlight, POI, Profile, Trace, and Tripod. Additional features can be activated for Enterprise users. Built for universal DJI compatibility.

* MGC M300 iOS support has been added to iOS and is now cross-platform. MGC supports Manual and Grid Flights on the M300. The M300 currently does not support custom waypoint flight plans on iOS, but please check back as we plan on adding it in the near future.
** In MGC automated flight mode for grid flights a user with an H20 can choose the wide lens for mapping and utilize auto focus settings to capture imagery automatically. In MGC manual flight mode a user with an H20 can switch between multiple sensor feeds, adjust the camera gimbal, switch lenses using the zoom button and also zoom in and out using a slider. The DJI Mobile SDK still has limitations on iOS for manual applied camera settings like exposure, etc and therefore auto sensor settings for the H20 series sensor are recommended.
*** Mavic Air 2 - now re-supported in MGC for manual flight only. Waypoint and Grid Flights are NOT supported. Manual flight logs will sync to MGC Web if flown in MGC app. DJI Log Sync via the DJI Fly app is not currently supported, however, expect an update in the future. Mavic Air 2S is NOT supported, but is likely to be supported early 2022.
