What Makes E2 Spatial Different
There are plenty of drone instructors online. Most are pilots who learned GIS after the fact.
E2 Spatial is taught by Eric — a GIS scientist first, drone operator second. That difference matters when accuracy, deliverable quality, and professional credibility are on the line.
The Full Pipeline
From flight planning and GCP setup to point cloud classification and ArcGIS integration — every step, explained by someone who does it professionally.
Credentials That Count
M.S. in GIS. FAA Part 107. 10+ years of geospatial field experience. 5 years of drone mapping deliverables for real clients. Not YouTube self-taught.
Vendor-Neutral
Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, WebODM, DJI Terra, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS — learn the concepts so you can use any tool, not just one platform.
Built for Professionals Who Need More Than Basics
Drone Pilots Ready to Level Up
You can fly. You can collect data. But you’re not confident in the processing, the accuracy, or the deliverables. This is where you close that gap.
GIS Professionals Adding Drone Skills
You understand spatial data. Now you need to understand where it comes from when it arrives from a drone survey — and how to validate it.
Surveyors & Engineers
Your team has a drone. Someone needs to understand RTK workflows, GCP methodology, and how to produce legally defensible accuracy reports.
Municipal GIS & Government
Your department is integrating drone data. You need someone who speaks both drone operations and GIS workflows — without the vendor pitch.
Meet Eric — GIS Scientist & Drone Mapping Instructor
Eric holds a Master of Science in GIS and has spent over a decade working in professional geospatial roles — producing topographic surveys, LiDAR deliverables, and remote sensing analysis for engineering firms, government agencies, and environmental consultants.
He added drone mapping to his toolkit five years ago and has since built workflows for construction site monitoring, volumetric analysis, corridor mapping, and multispectral surveys.
He built E2 Spatial because he couldn’t find training that bridged both worlds with the same rigor on both sides. So he wrote it himself.
New Library Articles
E2 Spatial is more than a blog. It is a library of drone mapping resources — tutorials, guides, and reference material written by a credentialed GIS professional.
