After flying multiple missions with Map Pilot Pro I've now had two maps fail to upload because I get an error that states "Forward Flight Required" with an explanation that I need forward consistent flight. These images WERE taken during forward flight and it was Map Pilot Pro that was flying when they were taken. What am I doing wrong?
For future readers: this was an issue in the data collection that was taking multiple points at each location. The system requires that at least 60% of the images are taken while moving forward and since the images were doubled/tripled up at each location that number dropped to below 50%.
Please check your images for weirdness like this if you are getting the "Forward Flight" message and don't understand why.

Hmmm. If the data was taken with Map Pilot Pro you shouldn't be getting that message. Please email us at mapping@dronesmadeeasy.com and let us know how many images you are trying to upload and with what camera. We will add points to your account so you can run the data using the Classic workflow. That way we can take a look at the images to see what is going on. Also, before you email please make sure your logs are synced from the app to your Maps Made Easy account and let us know which flight the data is for so we can see what is going on.
