VIRTUAL-GPS
15.1 What
The X100 has a GPS on-board, which is being used for:
● executing the flight path.
● shooting images.
● giving a first estimate of the image positions.
15.2 Landing heading
When creating a flight plan, you need to define a landing heading. This is the direction from
where the X100 approaches its landing location during the final leg of the landing circuit.
Ideally this direction is:
● Against the wind
● Free from any obstacles
15.3 Define a landing heading: first method
P REREQUISITES
● GCS with Virtual-GPS software installed
● GPS position
When it is difficult to determine the landing heading in a new Quickfield project due to many
obstacles, you can use the Virtual-GPS software to define a accurate landing heading value.
1 Open Virtual-GPS.
2 Mark the landing location.
