Welcome to the forum from the beautiful woods of Maine!

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean.

Welcome again!

Hi, I'm in my final year of university and I am using drones to create a mapping tool as my final year project. So having a GPS and a magnetometer would be really helpful when it comes to stitching different pictures together. Hope that answers your question.

I use a DJI Phantom with a multispectral camera coupled with Agisoft Metashape to produce an ortho-photo-mosaic for final determination of vegetation indices but will work for mapping. If you are into serious mapping this is what you need. As far as a magnetometer for gravity readings you will have to hope someone else can reply. You may be pushing feathers uphill with a blunt stick on that one......

Maybe look into arducopter if you need something open source. It's pretty complex but works well once configured, it might be right or not for you depending on your needs!

My supervisor said that it needs to be an open sourced drone so I'm guessing I do need access. Thanks for the advice on the CAA, I've been looking at this too.

You could use one controlled by Ardupilot- several kits out there, I’d have to search for examples. Start here:
