How to use Anchor Point on Skydio X10D

Navigate without GPS by setting a reference position on a map, allowing the drone to fly, execute waypoints, and return just as it would with GPS. Set a reference point to enable full vision navigation capabilities. 

[note] Anchor point is supported on the Skydio X10D Connect MH.[/note]
