Accessing Custom Projection Exports
Custom EPSG projections are available on the Business and Enterprise subscriptions.
Sites and surveys are often in a specific or custom coordinate system to make measurements more accurate and comply with standards set for the sites.
DroneDeploy allows users to export their drone data using a custom coordinate system based on EPSG codes. Let's learn how to do it:
EPSG codes are unique identifiers describing the desired projection; the EPSG code for almost any projection can be found at the Spatial Reference Organization's website.
- Choose a location using the search bar in the upper right:
- Select from the suggested codes based on your area and units.
Make note of the EPSG code corresponding to your map.
Select the layer you would like to export and click Export

For Elevation or Plant Health maps, make sure to select the right min and max bounds under the histogram. (For more information on selecting advanced export options, please see here).
Taking into account the EPSG from the Step 1, you can either look for that specific code in the drop-down list of suggested EPSG codes or click on the Other EPSG Code option and type the EPSG code:
Options to select or type the EPSG code
Type the EPSG code if you choose to use "Other EPSG Code"
You will get an email shortly after with a link to download the map in specified EPSG projection.
