# Mapping Using DroneDeploy

Mapping Flinks enables you to seamlessly transfer data collected during FlytBase missions to DroneDeploy , empowering you to create detailed 3D maps for various use cases.

{% hint style="info" %}
You would require the enterprise licence for DroneDeploy and access to the API key on the FlytBase Platform before you can start using these workflows.
{% endhint %}

## Setting up your DroneDeploy Flink

* Navigate to the **Operations Dashboard** and click on the Hamburger menu. From the dropdown menu, select <img src="/files/D5PVXHrVeYCdbJXRWwZg" alt="" data-size="line">**Flinks** under Integrations.

* Start by linking the API key associated with your DroneDeploy account to FlytBase using the **Link** button.

* Once the key has been linked, you would be able to see the existing projects on your organisation's account under **Sites**.
* Any exports that are made using the FlytBase Platform would be visible under the **Export logs**.

## Transferring the data from FlytBase to the DroneDeploy Flink

* Start by selecting your mission media files once they are available. Then select the export media option.

* While exporting, set a name for the export and determine its validity in the Export Manager. The platform will create the media export for you to view in the export manager.

* After the export is complete, you'll have the option to share it directly with your DroneDeploy Flink.

* Select the DroneDeploy Flink and choose the project it's part of. You'll also need to set the name of the plan.

* Click Share. The files will then be transferred to DroneDeploy where you'll be able to view and process the models.
