# 10.5 Performing Map Calibration

#### 1. Start Calibration

Once **Start Calibration** is tapped, the map switches to calibration mode:

* A **circular** **calibration marker** appears fixed at the center of the screen.
* The message *“Kindly adjust to expected location”* is displayed.

#### 2. Adjust Map Position

* Move the **map** (not the marker) so that the marker aligns exactly over the drone’s true field position.
* Use **zoom gestures** to increase precision.
* Reference **visible** **landmarks** such as roads, trees, or boundaries visible both on the map and in the field.

#### 3. Save Calibration

* Once aligned, tap **Done** at the bottom of the screen.
* The application calculates and applies an **offset** to synchronize the map coordinates with the real-world position.
