Hi Everyone,

I am using Pix4D mapper Discovery and wondering what would be the best way to generate a high res 2D map of an area? &nbsp;I really have no need for the 3D mapping. &nbsp;I am just doing this to create a map to have printed and put on the wall for fun.

I think I might have just answered my own question. &nbsp;I was only able to export a high res with the Pro edition (Trial). &nbsp;Is there anyway to do this in the Discovery (Free Edition). &nbsp;I am just doing it for fun, definitely not work $400 to me. &nbsp;I would be willing to pay something for the ability to make 2D maps, but as a hobbies there is no way I can afford $400 per month 🙂 lol

&nbsp;

Maybe since I am a good beta tester I could get a licence 🙂

Dear Zach,&nbsp;

The outputs of the Discovery version are indeed limited. You can find more information about this here

Glad you could make it work for your uses.

Best regards,
