On earth were used to being able to use GPS for route planning. If you could use this process in reverse to constantly determine ones position in 3D space above the surface using stored satellite imagery with a downward facing camera cross referenced with whatever gyro / accelerometer based positioning they’re using I wonder if there’d be any benefit. Maybe what they’ve got already is sufficient for anything you’d want to do in the near future.

An interesting comparison, but I'm not buying it.
