If your team uses DroneDeploy to capture drone imagery, you can stream those surveys directly into Aphex as a WMTS layer. This means your team plans against the most current aerial view of the site, without downloading or re-uploading a thing.
Each map layer in DroneDeploy has a unique WMTS URL. This is the URL you'll paste into Aphex.
To retrieve the URL:
Log in to DroneDeploy and open your project
In the top navigation bar, select the Explore tab
Scroll to Apps + Integrations on the left side-panel
Expand the WMTS Integration section
Click Copy Link next to Map-Level WMTS - this is the URL you will paste into Aphex.
The DroneDeploy URL will follow a format similar to this:
Once you’ve got your Layer URL handy, you can plug it into any real-world Location in your Project.
Visit our doc for step by step instructions on how to add layers to the Map.
Once your DroneDeploy layer is connected, a Layer Policy controls which sublayers appear in Aphex and how new ones are handled as fresh surveys are uploaded to DroneDeploy.
Visit our doc for step by step instructions on how to define a layer policy.
You will need to have the ESRI integration included in your DroneDeploy subscription to use this feature. If you are unsure whether you have access, contact your DroneDeploy Customer Success Manager.
