Hi, I was running some tests using a secondary GPS and wanted to geotag the images using the secondary GPS. I found that the CAM message in the logs contains the location data calculated using the acceleration data and the Previous GPS Coordinate. How is this calculated? Can I utilise the GPS2 data to calculate the same instead of GPS1 Data?
As a side note, can I utilise Camera Shutte lag in this calculation?
Got the same question!
Same question here too…
Were you able to find out? Also, I understand you’re using piksi as GPS2… For any reason, if you lose RTK fix/float, does your GPS2 stop logging?
Hi arthur. This was over a year ago from when i was trying to use piksi for my plane. I’ve learned that on using GPS_AUTO_SWITCH, you can control which GPS is used for navigation and subsequently, in CAM messages.

On a side note, Over multiple tests, I concluded that I could not achieve a reliable fix solution in piksi, and that if i ever lose telemetry, I’ll end up losing my solution too.
Ive switched to using a PPK setup that uses emlid reach -
I’ve found it to be far more reliable and convenient. I can post-process the data with more control.
Hope that helps,
