Exterior Mapbox Upgrade: Faster, Smoother, Better

We’ve migrated the underlying map libraries from Leaflet to Mapbox for the exterior explore page, improving performance and enhancing the visual map layer of our platform. This change is a major upgrade that will elevate your mapping experience across the board.

DXF File Improvements

2D DXF File Viewing

DXF files are a staple in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, typically used to share detailed design plans. Until now, you could only view these files in 3D mode. With this update, you can now view DXF files in both 2D and 3D modes, providing more flexibility and enhancing the ways you can interact with your data.

DXF Visualization on 3D Terrain

Viewing 2D DXF overlays on complex 3D models can be tricky—until now! With our new Clamp DXF Layers feature, you can easily reveal 2D DXF overlays that might be hidden by 3D aerial models. This feature is perfect for project managers, VDC managers, and superintendents who need to visualize lot lines, underground utilities, or road centerlines on undulating terrain.

Anzu Raptor Flight Support 

We’re excited to announce full flight support for the Anzu Raptor drone, giving you the most advanced tools for secure, accurate, and efficient data capture. If you're concerned about DJI security or just looking for alternatives, the Anzu Raptor offers similar specs at a competitive price point. You can now perform all flight types and use Instant RTK, directly from the DroneDeploy Flight app on the Anzu Raptor Remote Controller.

M350/M300 + P1, H20 and H20T Flight Support

DroneDeploy now supports all mission types for DJI M350 and M300 drones equipped with P1, H20, and H20T cameras. Whether you’re capturing high-accuracy maps with the P1 or performing inspections with the H20 and H20T, we’ve got you covered. Pilots can install the DroneDeploy Flight app on the RC Plus controller and enjoy support for a wide range of missions, from mapping to video capture.
