# 10.1 Why Map Calibration Is Needed

During spraying or field operations, a small map-projection error may cause the drone’s icon on the map to appear slightly away from its real position.\
This can lead to:

* Inaccurate spraying (missed or overlapping areas).
* Wasted resources (pesticide, water, or battery).
* Extra operational time due to repeated coverage.

Map Calibration resolves this by realigning the map reference so the drone icon accurately reflects the drone’s true field position.
