This article discusses the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to create georeferenced maps and 3D models. Particular attention is paid to RTK technology, GNSS solutions, and data post-processing methods. Formulas for calculating coordinates, errors, and coverage density are presented. The effectiveness of using RTK drones in comparison with traditional mapping methods is substantiated.
