Class LocationGlobal

dronekit/__init__.py:98–131

A global location object. The latitude and longitude are relative to the `WGS84 coordinate system `_. The altitude is relative to mean sea-level (MSL). For example, a global location object with altitude 30 metres above sea level

    A global location object.

    The latitude and longitude are relative to the `WGS84 coordinate system <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System>`_.
    The altitude is relative to mean sea-level (MSL).

    For example, a global location object with altitude 30 metres above sea level might be defined as:

    .. code:: python

       LocationGlobal(-34.364114, 149.166022, 30)

    .. todo:: FIXME: Location class - possibly add a vector3 representation.

    An object of this type is owned by :py:attr:`Vehicle.location`. See that class for information on
    reading and observing location in the global frame.

    :param lat: Latitude.
    :param lon: Longitude.
    :param alt: Altitude in meters relative to mean sea-level (MSL).
