Hi John,

The first basic phone appeared in 1849. However, the full potential of 
this technology started to demonstrate itself by 30s, several decades 
later. Computerized maps are only about 15 years old.

The "DJI’s Ultimate Mapping Solution" is still quite expensive, however 
if this technology becomes affordable with mass production, what is 
DJI's specialty, then it will be the brave new world.

If one could go to a common shopping center and buy a device which 
allows to map several square kilometers per day with one centimeter 
precision (0.39 inch) both horizontally and vertically, it would 
probably generate many new ideas both in programming and physical 
applications.

Best regards,

Oleksiy
