    Photo GPS Accuracy

    Hello, There is a feature in the 3D modelling program (Photoscan) I am using that can check to see the accuracy of the GPS position of the pictures taken by the drone. I have noticed that some of these positions are very innacurate, with the data up to 3 meters off. I am working to see if how...
