GPS Drones

GPS, also known as GNNS, specifically refers to the U.S. Global Positioning System, but to all positioning systems in general. The common systems used in drones are GPS (U.S.), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (Europe), etc. Most amateur drones are equipped with GPS for navigation and hovering; more advanced drones often support multiple positioning systems and adopt newer GPS technologies, such as RTK and PPK, and are primarily used to perform tasks such as search, patrol, inspection, surveying, mapping and more that require high hovering accuracy or route planning.

Drones with GPS technology can achieve precise positioning, set multiple waypoints for drones to follow autonomously, perform return-to-home (RTH) functions, quickly perceive geo-fenced areas, and land precisely, which is one of the must-have functions for drone professionals and drone enthusiasts.

GPS drones provide high-precision navigation and positioning, which further improves precision and accuracy when recording detailed data. GPS technology also improves automation and efficiency, enhances the safety and reliability of drone operations, and has significant applications in multiple industries.

GPS drones provide a powerful combination of precise navigation, automation and versatility, making them a valuable tool in various fields. By utilizing GPS technology, consumer drones achieve better hovering and navigation and perform RTH functions, and commercial drones improve operational efficiency, safety and data accuracy, bringing significant benefits to the surveying and mapping industry.

As drone technology continues to advance, the functions and applications of GPS drones will continue to expand, further consolidating their role in modern industry and research.
