Note: The footprints displayed on the map are only an approximate
estimation of the actual ground coverage of the corresponding im-
age. Cross-wind may introduce errors in the orientation of the dis-
played footprint compared to the actual coverage, whereas inaccu-
rate elevation data may result inaccurate footprint size.
The Toolbar also contains buttons for centering the Map Area on the current po-
sition of the drone (
button), on a searchable location or coordinate ( button)
or to continually follow the position of the drone while it is in flight ( button).
Finally you can view eMotion in full-screen mode by clicking the button.
7.2 Simulator
Familiarising yourself with your eBee RTK and its features will allow you to more
efficiently plan and execute mapping flights, saving you time and improve your
imaging results. The Simulator in
eMotion is designed to help you test the various
features of the drone and to better prepare a mapping mission before perform-
ing it in the field. Several simulated drones can be connected at the same time,
allowing you to test multi-drone functionalities.

eBee RTK , after which it will update the Home to its current
position (typically the last position that was used within the simulator) and the
