# Mapping Using Strayos

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

## Setting up your Strayos Flink

* Navigate to the **Operations Dashboard** and click on the Hamburger menu. From the dropdown menu, select  <img src="https://1675645432-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTfYUUwVnoRyxqEi8UiRV%2Fuploads%2FUfflYML7gEC4V5i2FMv3%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f2b83b8a-0204-4bad-95b5-835e73ff83de" alt="" data-size="line">**Flinks** under Integrations.

## Transferring data from FlytBase to the Strayos 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.

* &#x20;After the export is complete, you'll have the option to share it directly with your Strayos Flink.

* Select the Strayos 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 Strayos where you'll be able to view and process the models.
* Additionally by accessing the Strayos icon on the **Integrations Panel** present on the right hand side, you can track the progress of the creation of your models.
