Get started with NioMap and NioBook.

Create a free account: it includes 1 hour of processing and up to 10 GB of storage. To learn, see the tutorials or try it with sample data. For usage conditions or to discuss your data, talk to the team.

Maps, models and records are viewed in the browser. Processing runs in the cloud. You can export results or use integrations to continue in other applications.

Use the sign-in page to access the platform or the registration page to create a free account. The Sign in and Create free account buttons are also in the menu on every page.

Yes. With NioPilot, inside the NIOTANTEK app, you choose the certified pilot, the drone and the sensor, define the area and the results and follow the request at every step, until the data reaches your NioMap account. NioPilot is available on paid NioMap plans; the free account does not include NioPilot. If you have questions, talk to the team.

Photos taken with a drone or a smartphone, for photogrammetric processing, or results already processed, such as orthophotos and elevation models. The viewer also accepts vector data, rasters and map services. See surveys.

NioMap does not require a specific model, and it also accepts smartphone photos. A multirotor suits small or medium areas and sites with obstacles, and a fixed-wing drone covers large areas in fewer flights. The choice should also consider the detail needed, the image overlap and the positioning. No drone? On paid plans, hire the capture on NioPilot.

It depends on the accuracy you need. With ground control points or an RTK system, accuracy reaches up to 5 cm. RTK corrects the coordinates of each photo during the flight, and PPK applies the corrections after the flight when there is no stable link. With the drone's GPS alone, results are georeferenced, with lower accuracy.

Define the area, the resolution you need and the photo overlap. Flying lower gives more detail but takes more images, and wind, light and vegetation all affect the capture.

Depending on the data and job settings, you can generate orthophotos, elevation models, contours, point clouds and 3D models. Results can be viewed in the browser and downloaded in the selected formats.

It depends on the data and job settings. The platform lets you track processing status. To assess a time-sensitive job, tell the team the survey size and required outputs.

The quality of the capture, the positioning, the georeferencing, the resolution and the measuring method. With ground control points or RTK, accuracy reaches up to 5 cm; with the drone's GPS alone it is lower. Processing settings do not replace validating the survey.

Coordinates and elevations, distances, the flat area and the real (3D) area with the perimeter, volumes by zone against a plane, a base level or the design surface, with the cut-and-fill map, and profiles along a line. Measurements that depend on elevation need a suitable model. Try it in view and measure.

Yes. Organize surveys of the same site by date, switch between survey dates and compare results. Surface comparison requires compatible data. See survey comparison.

A NioMap job is not public by default. You can keep it private or share it with specific users or with your company. In NioBook, you choose which objects and information you publish in the catalog.

Yes. Through a WMTS service you can view the project's orthophotos, elevation models, hillshade and slope maps in QGIS or ArcGIS Pro.

Yes. Send orthophotos, contour lines and measurements via API to AutoCAD, or open the project's WMTS service in ZWCAD or Aplitop MDT and use the maps to support technical drawing, surveying and terrain representation.

Yes. The 3D model of the site goes out as IFC and can be used in Revit, ArchiCAD or ARCHLINE.XP to coordinate the survey with the project's buildings and infrastructure.

It imports CSV, GeoPackage, SHP, GeoTIFF and WMS and WMTS services. It exports CSV, KML, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, image and PDF, depending on the tool. For any other format, check compatibility with the team.
