+# OpenDroneMap
+
+*May 22th 2026*
+
+There's a lot of outdated information about OpenDroneMap and its relationship with WebODM. This page provides some up-to-date factual information:
+
+ * WebODM **was** part of OpenDroneMap, but that is no longer the case. As of April 6th 2026, the projects are [separate](/blog/announcement) and distinct.
+ * WebODM **was** an interface to OpenDroneMap (ODM), but that is no longer the case. Today WebODM offers an interface to [ODX](https://github.com/WebODM/ODX), a state of the art, up-to-date photogrammetry engine forked from ODM that is entirely separate from OpenDroneMap.
+ * OpenDroneMap sells installers for a fork of WebODM, called "OpenDroneMap Desktop", which is **not** WebODM and should not be confused with WebODM. Official WebODM **installers are free** to download and use from our [download page](/download).
+ * Some references to WebODM on the OpenDroneMap website and documentation are outdated or inaccurate and should be disregarded.
