vehicle_global_position.msg

# Fused global position in WGS84.
# This struct contains global position estimation. It is not the raw GPS
# measurement (@see vehicle_gps_position). This topic is usually published by the position
# estimator, which will take more sources of information into account than just GPS,
# e.g. control inputs of the vehicle in a Kalman-filter implementation.
