Map offset

I flew a drone mission over a half-mile long section of 4-lane highway with median.

I set the mission up so it would catch both directions of the highway, the median, and some of the land to the east of the roadway. It was a linear map.

On another software, the map created was just as the mission was setup. I just ran it on Maps Made Easy and for some reason, it only caught a small section of the east lane and none of the other lanes (3 more) or median.

Can you help me figure out why this is?

It looks like you flew 3 passes right next to a highway so the mapped area is next to the highway. The automatic trimming that was left enabled in Step 2 of the uploader trimmed off the lower overlap portions that were to the outside of the area you actually flew. If you want to leave those lower quality lower overlap areas in the results you would need to uncheck that option at the time of upload. 

In general, if you want to ensure that something gets included in your map the best way to do that is to actually fly over it.
