ArcGIS Flight makes it easy to collect images to create accurate, high-resolution maps and 3D models using drones. Choose from a variety of flight modes tailored to the type of site being captured, and the app will automatically define the optimal flight path and allow you to preview it in 2D or 3D. Pilots can use Terrain Follow, which enhances imagery quality by adjusting the drone's height to follow the terrain. After completing your organization's custom preflight checklist, the app automatically conducts aircraft checks and performs the flight. Long flights are automatically split, allowing you to change your drone’s battery and resume where you left off. After completing the flight, wirelessly transfer the images to your iPad and upload them along with your Fleet Management information to Site Scan Manager for processing on the cloud. It is also possible to transfer the images captured during a flight for processing using ArcGIS Drone2Map or ArcGIS Pro using the ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro extension. Compatibility: - Requires an ArcGIS account with mobile worker or higher license or a Site Scan operator license. - Requires compatible drone, check the latest documented drone matrix for supported firmware versions: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/flight/latest/get-started/requirements.htm

NtripChecker allows you to test NTRIP Client connection to NTRIP Caster and to analyze the RTCM stream. In the main screen you can define NTRIP connection parameters (host name, port, credentials), user position and select a mountpoint from the list provided by the NTRIP Caster, or set you own mountpoint. Once connected, you can look at the received RTCM messages and their statistics, see list of GNSS satellites and available signal frequencies, and to see the position and distance to the base station providing the corrections.
