Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Problems with flight plans

[Bernard Davison]

Hi Chen,

Well I've been playing around with the software and done just as you  
say and it still fails.
Being in the software testing game I've been trying to reproduce the  
issue in a reliable way.

It turns out that I had placed my position for the launch site  
according to what the Google Maps overlay showed...
The google maps overlay however for this location are out by 10-20  
meters and what is displayed in the image as the top of a hill is half  
way down the back according to the SRTM files... :-(
So when I launched it flew straight into the hill.

Of course I'm assuming this is an issue with the Google maps overlay  
and not something else...

Cheers,
Bernie.
