Problem
Organizations that rely on drone-collected imagery often struggle with complex GIS tools, lengthy processing times, and fragmented workflows, making it difficult to quickly turn raw data into actionable, mission‑ready maps.
Solution
Mapnova offers a drag‑and‑drop GIS platform that ingests live video streams, orthomosaics, thermal images, and other drone data directly into an intuitive map editor. Users can assemble maps with the same ease as creating a PowerPoint slide, adding layers, annotations, and analysis tools without specialized GIS expertise. The software generates accurate orthomosaics, detects hotspots automatically, and provides color‑based analysis (Colorfinder) to highlight areas of interest. Real‑time common operating pictures keep teams synchronized during emergency response or long‑term planning, while collaborative sharing lets multiple users view, edit, and export maps as PDFs or GIS layer files. The solution is tailored to sectors such as fire rescue, wildland fire, law enforcement, and resource management, adapting to each workflow for reliable, mission‑ready outputs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are public safety agencies, fire and wildland services, emergency management teams, and resource‑management organizations that conduct drone‑based aerial surveys and need fast, collaborative mapping tools.
