How to calibrate position

Drone Harmony uses Google Maps which in terms of positioning is not always precise. In addition your drone's GPS isn't quite accurate either.

For this reason, Drone Harmony offers you a calibration routine - offered in form of the "Calibrate Position" Flight plan. This calibration makes use of the drone's GPS in order to align the drone position with your scene objects & flight plans, which have been drawn on top of google maps.

In order to be able to start this calibration you need:

At least one polygon / area or structure.
A connected drone with decent GPS signal reception.

How to get there?

First draw the object(s)
Connect the drone and the remote control
Click on the "+" at the bottom right and select Manual --> Calibrate Position
Select the corner and click on next
Position the drone (flying or on the ground) at the selected corner and press C1/C2 on the remote control or the "Compute Button" on the Tablet/Mobile
State positions (and also any existing flight plan) will now be calibrated and aligned according to your current drone position
Create or choose a flight plan and start flying your flight plan in your scene which is aligned to your drone position

Note: You can create flight plans before or after the calibration - the outcome of the calibration will be the same.
