Best Practices for Capturing Drone Photos to Geotag

Capture clear, high-resolution aerial images with visible context so they are easier to label and export.

A clean source image makes amenity labels more legible and makes manual review easier. Capture context and detail Shoot several images at different heights. A wider shot may be best for showing streets and nearby places, while a closer shot can preserve architectural detail. Keep the horizon level when appropriate and avoid motion blur. Preserve image data when possible Keep the original file from the drone. If it includes camera or location metadata, that information may help start a geotagging workflow. Metadata availability varies by device and export method. Respect rules and privacy Follow local drone rules, operating requirements, and privacy expectations. Do not use an aerial image or its labels to imply facts that are not visible or independently verified. The takeaway High-resolution, well-framed drone photos give you a better canvas for editable amenity pins and labeled exports.
