Valters Žeižis is an oceanographer from Riga, Latvia. Since childhood, Valters has been inspired by tales of explorers and the maps that symbolize their travels. Mapping was a required skill and key source of information throughout his study of geography, geology, and geomatics. He began officially mapping in GIS about ten years ago, but he fondly recalls the abstract and imaginary maps he dreamed up as a kid and likes to think his mapping truly began then.

You don't need to be an rich old dude to have fun and map on Soar.  Join the Soar Cast was we interview Australian mapping prodigy, Aiden Holding of Perth, Western Australia. Aiden has an interesting story, he wanted to get into mapping with a his DJI Spark but was brushed off by the big mapping companies.  When got the invitation to use Soar's drone mapping app, The Drone Mosaicing Toolset (in beta status) he said, "heck yes!".  At 14yrs young, there's virtually nothing Aiden's not willing to map using Soar's Drone Mosaicing Toolset.To view Aidens profile on Soar click below:
