Feature Request: Option to compensate for map alignment error

[Jan-NiklasB]

Hey,
I'm using Mission Planner for a few weeks now and repentantly run into the problem that the map data isn't aligned with the real world.

So I have my copter sitting in a fixed, open field position with NTRIP enabled an provided by the SAPOS service of the state of Lower Saxony and a HDOP of < 1.0 (mostly 0.5 - 0.8).

When looking at the Data / Planner map with Gmaps hybrid or Bing hybrid chosen, I can clearly see an offset of the position displayed on the particular map and the real world position of multiple meters.

Therefor I want to request a possibility to "realign the map to the real world" so when planning a mission the position chosen on the map is identical to the real world without the offset.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to express, if not please ask.

Thanks for your work and greetings from Germany

Jan-Niklas

Hi @Jan-NiklasB,

I'm not the one who would try and implement this but in any case, you'll likely find that the offset depends upon the location and the service being used. So other services may appear to be more accurate.
