0.1 Background
The Organization for Autonomous Vehicle Systems Worldwide foresees that drone utilization will create 100,000 employment opportunities by 2025. Both construction and engineering sectors have witnessed a consistent growth in drone adoption. Drones have enhanced the safety of the surveying process and cut down surveying time from hours to just minutes. Drone-assisted mapping enables access to locations that would be impossible to reach by foot.

0.9 Photo Persona
Based on the assumptions, updated personas were created.
Persona 1 - James Abbot, a construction manager, emphasizes the significance of comprehensive land analysis for smart decision-making. He pursues a device that assists him in attaining an extensive and intricate understanding of the land, facilitating well-informed selections. His primary objective is to complete the surveying process seamlessly without delays.
Persona 2 - Nick Barry, a surveyor, focuses on carrying out surveys efficiently, quickly, and with minimal injuries. He prefers safety and speed over accuracy and complexity. He needs a tool that enables him to conclude surveys swiftly without compromising safety.

14.0Prototype
Validated learning, which refers to visible (and valued) reactions from intended consumers that shape the design, is one of the fundamental principles of the lean start-up technique. Minimal paper prototypes were created for all of the main elements that would lead to the completion of the user actions, as suggested by the Lean UX approach before Mid-fi and High-Fi prototype.

16.0Testing
The application's complexity necessitated the usage valence test methodology. The participants were told to think aloud and proclaim green if everything appeared to be in order and red if something appeared to be missing while doing the task. The participants' flow as well as their recommendations were recorded.
Key Findings
⦁ 4 out of 5 found the application easy.
⦁ 1 out of 5 had problems with the pop-up screen background.
⦁ 3 out of 5 Appreciate the Augmented reality Screens.
⦁ 1 out of 5 got confused while choosing the subscription plan due to the interface.
⦁ 1 out of 5 suggested adding an extra screen for the Tutorial to see the application complexity.

Strength -Mapit allows for mapping oversight from afar.The Mapit user interface is superior to those of other programmes. Mapit provides cloud storage as part of its membership plan. The Mapit app allows users to retrieve their data independently. The app can stand out by combining Geo-AR with GPS technology, which is a significant aspect of UAV technology. At the stroke of a button, Mapit users may see and retrieve all deliverables. Users may keep track of all ongoing projects on the Mapit application's home page. The Mapit application's ability to collaborate with other agencies by simply adding them to the project group is a critical success factor.
Limitation- Because Mapit rents the drone with Lidar technology, the data precision, which is a problem in other applications, can be solved. Although the Mapit does not now provide any training courses, they may be added to the future work section. Because the MVP prototype does not allow for real testing, the application's genuine working prototype should be tested in usability testing to gain a better understanding of the technology necessary and whether the technology currently in use is enough or should be altered.
