.. note:: Most of the above systems (except Beacons) require that the ORIGIN be set manually, except if a GPS is present. In order to do this the user must either use the GCS to set Origin, as shown below using Mission Planner, or use a lua script like this `one <https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_Scripting/examples/ahrs-set-origin.lua>`__

The low cost IMUs (accelerometers, gyros, compass) used in most autopilots drift too quickly to allow position estimation without an external velocity or position source. In other words, low-cost IMUs on their own are not sufficient for estimating position.

A board with more than 1MB of flash is required to run non-GPS navigation, except for Vicon as 1MB boards still support the GPS_INPUT message, although they don't support the GLOBAL_VISION_POSITION_ESTIMATE so they have to be run using the GPS_INPUT message. See :ref:`Firmware Limitations <common-limited_firmware>` for details.
