Why Aren't My GCPs Lining Up?!

TL;DR An incorrect CRS (Coordinate Reference System) is the the most likely culprit. 

1. Start with your CRS- Double check - is your CRS in the correct projection?

For data collected with  ROCK Hardware, the CRS should always be the UTM zone in which your project is located. 

Here's a map to see which one you should use: https://mangomap.com/robertyoung/maps/69585/what-utm-zone-am-i-in-#

Tip: If you upload your LAS/LAZ file, Rock Cloud will try to auto detect the UTM zone / projection and suggest it when you are choosing your CRS in a new project.  

 

Once your CRS is good to go, you are ready to start aligning your project to your GCPs!
