Episode 265 brings together two AllTerra Central leaders — Scott Spears and Chris Mauldin — for a fast-moving conversation on UAVs, SLAM, reality capture, and the human side of geospatial technology. After the usual Geoholics banter and updates ,we dive straight into what surveyors are getting wrong (and right) about drone adoption.
Scott and Chris tackle the biggest misconceptions around UAVs, break down the differences between American and Chinese platforms, and explain how handheld scanners and SLAM systems are resetting expectations for accuracy and deliverables. They also explore how AI is accelerating faster than hardware — and why keeping people, ethics, and trust at the center of tech adoption matters more than ever.
Chris brings heart and honesty with insights on faith, family, and teamwork, while both guests highlight why surveyors are more essential than ever in a “shrinking world.” The episode closes with a look at what makes AllTerra Central unique and where they see UAVs and reality capture heading over the next five years.
