Mapware Reviews

“Excellent drone mapping software

Pros

Mapware represents the future of drone mapping software and is the top choice in the current generation.

Cons

The software sometimes doesn't function correctly, which is the issue I'm currently experiencing.

“Amazing software, but not so beginner-friendly

Pros

I love that the user interface is so simple and easy to navigate.

Cons

It would be helpful if there were more guides and instructions for first-time users.

“Great tool, though it needs some improvements

Pros

The platform is simple to use, with a user-friendly and intuitive interface.

Cons

I've had issues with speed and file exports.

“The most accurate and affordable photogrammetry and mapping solution

Pros

It provides a highly accurate mapping solution that outperforms other photogrammetry tools.

Cons

The user interface was difficult for me and identifying and pruning source images can be time-consuming or challenging.

“Excellent in-UI results, but exports appear a bit odd

Pros

The cloud processing and account sharing features are incredibly useful.

Cons

The obj/mtl exports are either low quality or broken in earlier versions of Mapware.

“Affordable and easy-to-use mapping software

Pros

The pay-as-you-go option lets me manage a tighter budget and it's easy to share maps with clients.

Cons

I wish Mapware would expand its features to include volumetrics and agriculture related tools.

“Loved the orthographic images from mapware

Pros

Its simplicity makes it easy to create orthographic images of construction projects. I just upload the images, and the cloud handles the rest. It's great!

Cons

There's not much I dislike though the cost is something we'd all prefer to be lower. That said, I think the price is fair for the value it provides to my clients.

“It's pricing is pretty straightforward, but still needs some work

Pros

The ability to have unlimited users, the pay as you go pricing model, and an adaptive interface with GCPs included in all plans are fantastic features.

Cons

I think it would be great to have better measurement tools (such as for slope/grade, single coordinates), the ability to choose a coordinate system, and measurement export options. When sharing, it would be nice to select the specific view (map vs model) and have embedding options for maps/models.

“Loved the pay as you go feature, but still requires some refinement

Pros

The pay-as-you-go pricing is perfect for someone like me, just starting out in mapping, as I don't have enough work yet to justify a subscription.

Cons

It would be helpful to have a trimming feature for exports. Sometimes the edges of the model are rough and it would be great to trim those before exporting for a more professional final product. Also, the ability to adjust the color scaling on DEMs would allow for better visibility of subtle variations in specific areas.
