Hi everyone,

&nbsp;

Today I made a mission with my Mavic Air and Pix4d Mapper app. The mission was as follows:

At the moment of&nbsp;processing the info in Pix4d, I&nbsp;got the following:

Can anybody tell why this happens?

Thank you

Hello Gregorio,

The DJI Mavic Air writes only approximate coordinates for image geolocation and we recommend using Pix4Dcapture in order to get more precise coordinates.

In Pix4Dcapture, we incorporated precise image geolocation in the p4d file generated when downloading the images to the device.

If you use that p4d file, your images will have the right geolocation.

For more information, you can see the official comment in the following post: [Will you be supporting the Mavic Air](https://community.pix4d.com/t/5866?page=1#comments)

Regards.
