Claim 9:
10. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:
a propulsion system;
a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor;
a camera; and
a controller including logic that, in response to execution by the controller, causes the UAV to:
in response to detecting a loss of tracking by the GNSS sensor:
determine an estimated location of the UAV on a map based on a location image captured by the camera;
determine a route to a destination using tracking parameters embedded in the map, wherein the map is divided into a plurality of sections and the tracking parameters indicate an ease of determining a location of the UAV using images captured by the camera with respect to each of the sections, wherein the route is determined such that the UAV travels through fewer than a threshold number of the sections of the map having a corresponding tracking parameter that does not meet a threshold value when following the route; and
control the propulsion system to cause the UAV to follow the route to the destination.
