[Beta Testers Wanted] DJI Mapper – Open-Source Drone Survey & Photogrammetry Mission Planner
Hey everyone!
I've been working on DJI Mapper, a free and open-source mission planning tool for DJI drone survey/photogrammetry flights, and I'm getting close to a proper public release. Before I go live I'd love to get some real-world feedback from people who actually do this stuff.
What it does:
- Plan automated grid survey missions on a map with just a few clicks
- Calculates overlap, GSD, and flight parameters based on your camera/altitude settings
- Exports directly to DJI Fly (Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3/3S, Mavic 3 series, Mavic 4 Pro)
- Also exports to Litchi and Litchi Pilot for older/enterprise drones (Mini 2, Air 2S, Phantom 4, Matrice series, and more)
- Terrain-aware elevation planning
- Works on **Windows, Linux, macOS
What I'm looking for:
- Beta testers willing to plan a real mission and report back on anything broken, confusing, or missing (once i upload it to github)
- Feature suggestions, what would make this genuinely useful for your workflow? (terrain following improvements? better overlap control? KML import? Let me know)
- Feedback on the UI/UX, does the workflow make sense?
Thanks in advance, excited to hear what this community thinks!
