We had one client that is a surveyor in another state ask us to rent a Tremble GPS surveyors equipment. He was going to go to a site in Oklahoma, and put down targets for us. We flew it, and handed him many gigabytes of data and he went home and made his own map. While I had the Tremble, I recorded the positions of cracks in the concrete, sidewalk edges and other spots and got that data. My business partner flew it with his little drone at crazy high resolution.

I made a 3D AutoCad DWG vector point image of my property, with a photo background. Just for fun. I measured the sidewalks and how much edging I have to do, and could see the elevation of my house and make contour lines. As I never hired a surveyor, it is not a real map, but i don't care. I just wanted to do it to see it all.
