    <p>It never cease to amaze me how precise is the GPS on the flying

      apparatuses in comparison with ground devices. Especially the DJI

      RPASs (quacopters) which use the double GPS & GLONASS

      receivers. The RTH (automatic return home) even lands a DJI

      aircraft about 1 - 1.5 meters from the recorded take off position.

      <br>

    </p>

    <p>I suppose that being in the air eliminates interference of high

      buildings, trees, etc. The aircraft's camera writes the

      geographical coordinates into the JPG images files too, and these

      are very precise coordinates. It is good to know that this field

      continues to develop that fast. Thank you for this information.<br>
